Take a look at the configuration script bellow, which requires few self-explanatory changes. Once done, download all i386 binary packages, (without sources) from the mirror site by excecuting these 3 commands: % mirror -p all <path>/deb.mir % mirror -p binary <path>/deb.mir % mirror -p non-us <path>/deb.mir Or, to download all three subdirectories in one command: % mirror <path>/deb.mir You should have little toils to create one additional "package" inside deb.mir to fetch the sources. *NOTE* Before actual mirroring, and if you have any sense at all, it is worth testing the behaviour of deb.mir configuration file. Add the -n option during testing, % mirror -p all -n <path>/deb.mir -- Ioannis Tambouras [EMAIL PROTECTED], West Palm Beach, Florida Signed pgp-key on key server. ======================================================== deb.mir ====== # Please change the site and remote_dir to your local debian mirror # for all three "packages" bellow. package=all comments= All #do_deletes=false #exclude_patt=games|hamradio|picon|python #exclude_patt+|doc-linux-[fi]|xbooks|snn # My target path local_dir=/home/ftp/pub/deb/bo/binary-all # My debian mirror site site=debian.med.miami.edu remote_dir=/pub/debian/bo/binary-all [EMAIL PROTECTED] package=binary comments= i386_binary_files #do_deletes=false #exclude_patt=games|hamradio|picon|python #exclude_patt+|doc-linux-[fi]|xbooks|snn site=debian.med.miami.edu remote_dir=/pub/debian/bo/binary-i386 local_dir=/home/ftp/pub/deb/bo/binary-i386 [EMAIL PROTECTED] package=non-us comment= non-us debian packages site=ftp.lh.umu.se remote_dir=/pub/linux/debian-non-US/binary-i386 local_dir=/attic/deb/non-us/binary-i386 -- Ioannis Tambouras [EMAIL PROTECTED], West Palm Beach, Florida Signed pgp-key on key server.
