I would like to mirror locally the soon to be stable (AKA frozen) and
the next version of unstable. I want both source abd 1386 binaries.
How much space do I need?
I pointed mirror to a 12.G disk with the folowing control file:
# Example parameter file for the Debian GNU/Linux "mirror" package
#
# This serves as an illustration for a valid mirror parameter file. See the
# man page mirror(1) and the files in /usr/doc/mirror/examples/* for details.
#
# You can use this as a starting point for a local mirror of parts of the
# Debian distribution. As an example, it is set up to ignore non-i386
# architecture, sources, msdos-8.3-named files, the mailing list archives
# as well as the WebPages for www.debian.org. It will take up around 200 MB.
#
# It worked for me when I wrote it, but it might fail for you. No warranties
# whatsoever. Use at your own risk.

#
# preserve these files or directories (see perlre(1) for reg. expr.)
delete_excl=(local$)
#
# do not delete if more than 20% of all files would vanish
max_delete_files=20%
#
# this speeds up the construction of the remote ls-lR by pruning
recurse_hard=true
And nowit's full. Is this reasonable? How big a disk do I need? for
this?
Thanks.
