Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i From: Pete Ashdown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I currently provide mirrors for debian and several other distributions and packages via mirrors.xmission.com. There are several apt repositories which I would like to provide local copies of. F example the Gnome 2.2 backport on evilgeniuses.org.uk, which downloads at a rate of about 40Kbps, even though we have four diverse DS3's ;-). The catch comes when an apt repository just provides a sources.list line and nothing else. No readable directories, no rsync, only Packages will give you an idea what is there. Has anyone know of a method for mirroring through apt? I'm aware of apt-mirror, but I can't seem to get it to do a complete mirror that grabs everything and not just the distribution that I have in the sources.list. It also creates empty directories for all the architectures, regardless of whether they are actually used or not. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
