I can only answer for webmin. I uploaded the 0.80-1 version and it was placed in main (it should be in non-US). But that is not the reason why it was removed because I just had to upload a new version and ask somebody to change the override file. The reason is that Jaldhar is about adopt them (he have a better packaging structure) and he is working on it. For more webmin status see some other threads on this list. :) To upload the new webmin packages the orginal webmin package had to be removed so thats why. I think webmin is about to be released soon, but he'll know better than I do. // Ola -- - Ola Lundqvist --- / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Björnkärrsgatan 5 A.11 \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 584 36 LINKÖPING | | +46 (0)13-17 69 83 +46 (0)70-332 1551 | | http://www.opal.dhs.org UIN/icq: 4912500 | \ gpg/f.p.: 7090 A92B 18FE 7994 0C36 4FE4 18A1 B1CF 0FE5 3DD9 / ---

Ok. Thanks to Peter Palfrader too. Then, there is a more
complicated issue for those who has a partial mirror (only i386
for me), but I think that is possible with rsync options.
There was a script posted here to do partial rsync mirrors.
I used that script and added several features to it. Whats missing is
support for the debian-installed in sid, but I'm working on that.
Changes:
- multiple architectures
- keep links from woody - potato
- mirror binary-all
- mirror US and non-US pools
- use last version as template for new files
- mirror disks
People intrested in only one arch and only woody/sid should remove
binary-all and should resolve links.
Joey, can you put that where it originally came from? or next to the
original script? Any changes to the script from your side?
So heres the script for all who care:
