Backports mirrors to be accessible at /debian-backports/ ======================================================== First, you can notice the name has changed because of the official status, from backports.org to debian-backports : * please make the backports mirror available at /debian-backports/ as well (for all FTP/HTTP/RSYNC). * without breaking the old path :-) Rsync and push setup for backports mirrors ========================================== Note any previous push setup from www.backports.org is deprecated and will not be moved automatically, you can sync from a mirror listed at http://backports.debian.org/Mirrors/ Please check whether your "standard archive" upstream provides backports, if so please ask them for a push, and tell us your new backports upstream at [email protected] or http://www.debian.org/mirror/submit Offical mirrors can ask us for a push trigger. Upcoming Squeeze release and periodic reminders =============================================== Debian mirrors *should* : - use the recommended tool ftpsync: http://debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror#how for all mirrors (debian, debian-backports, debian-volatile, etc.) - avoid drop/close architectures or access protocol (moreover without prior notification, notice arch addition[0] and size requirements [1]) - configure standard path like /debian/ /debian-volatile/ /debian-cd/ and avoid custom path - read the errors logs mailed by ftpsync - for ISOs, do not perform manual updates, but *automatic* either pushed or pulled (today is 5.0.6 !).
