Hello I upgraded my system to unstable to be able to use the latest FAI. And I have problems with installing a mirror of unstable.
gevaert:/ed/debmirror# ./mkdebmirror ------------------ create mirror for debian ------------------ ------------------ create mirror for debian-non-US ------------------ Won't mirror without dists/unstable/non-US/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz signature in Release at /usr/bin/debmirror line 1094. releasing 1 pending lock... at /usr/lib/perl5/LockFile/Simple.pm line 182. ------------------ create mirror for debian ------------------ ------------------ create mirror for debian-non-US ------------------ Won't mirror without dists/unstable/non-US/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz signature in Release at /usr/bin/debmirror line 1094. releasing 1 pending lock... at /usr/lib/perl5/LockFile/Simple.pm line 182. ------------------ create mirror for debian-security ------------------ Won't mirror without dists/sarge/updates/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages.gz signature in Release at /usr/bin/debmirror line 1094. releasing 1 pending lock... at /usr/lib/perl5/LockFile/Simple.pm line 182. receiving file list ... done client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the --recursive option? rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(723) This is what I put in mkdebmirror debug="$@" arch=i386 dist=unstable destdir=/ed/debmirror # first sync from a mirror near to you update_from ftp.uni-koeln.de # since this mirror is not always up to date, sync the rest from an official mirror update_from ftp.de.debian.org # even one should not mirror the security site, but I will do it. echo "------------------ create mirror for debian-security ------------------" debmirror $destdir/debian-security $allopt --host=security.debian.org -r debian-security -d sarge/updates,woody/updates # get installation disk images via rsync rsync_disks unstable ftp2.de.debian.org I installed debmirror from unstable.
