Prior to the freezing of rex, "unstable" (rex) contained all of the physical files of the distribution.
Now, "unstable" is "bo", and it has many links back to rex. At what point will "bo" loose the links to rex and be self-contained again? When the change occured, my mirror of "unstable" lost a bunch of files. Now I have to get both rex and bo. I think I can continually mirror "unstable" only, by careful use of the following option in mirror, but I haven't actually tried this yet: If the remote site contains symlinks that you want to "flat- ten out" into the corresponding files, then do this by changing the flags passed to the remote ls: flags_recursive+L or flags_nonrecursive+L First test this by trying a ls -lRatL on the remote site under the ftp command to check whether the remote file-store has any symlink loops. Anybody got a better method to mirror only the "unstable" tree efficiently? -- ...RickM... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
