[Cooker] all_rsync.pl perl download script has been updated
My all_rsync.pl perl download script has been updated to include the new 'unsupported' directory and provide selective RPM upnaming by tree. The three necessary files can be downloaded from: http://members.optushome.com.au/ronst/ When you read the readme.html, remember to subscribe at the end to the net mind service if you have not done so already. This is a bot that will automatically email you whenever this readme.html changes. This all_rsync.pl perl script is set by default to download for you all the changes in the Mandrake binaries for contrib, cooker, 7.2, unsupported, and iso. By default it is set to use MandrakeSoft's primary mirror in Norway. Licence is GPL. -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
[Cooker] all_rsync.pl
Announcement: The older no_rsync.pl Perl script on my web site, which downloaded the 7.2beta tree (which no longer exists), and which was extremely popular, was replaced on November 8 by Version 1.0 of all_rsync.pl. November 25: New! Version 1.1 of all_rsync.pl has now been released. This corrects the skipping of file upnaming for rsync of mirror paths not ending in 'RPMS/' or 'SRPMS/'. As supplied, the all_rsync.pl Perl script rsync-downloads binary contrib, cooker, 7.2 and the 7.2 CD iso images to a place which you must edit into all_rsync.pl before running it. It can also rsync-download the corresponding SRPMS, but this is commented out. All these downloads are English-GB-only, and change the name of any local RPM of the same name to match the server's version and mdk patch level so that the rsync run becomes an update by patching rather than a complete new download. These features considerably reduce the download time and storage space required. A different server may also be specified for each of the above items. The two files required (all_rsync.pl and rsync_exclude) may be downloaded from http://members.optushome.com.au/ronst/ and may be freely redistributed (GPL licence). -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
