At the moment there are a lot for links in potato/woody so I can't follow links, so no mirroring of stable/unstable/testing. I could check what stable/testing/unstable is and then mirror what they point to, but who cares. In a year or so an update or debian-mirror will ask you weather you want to start mirroring the new unstable and weather to drop the old stable. MfG Goswin

The script works fine, but you need to configure /etc/debian-mirror.conf manually at the moment. Once configured it works fine for me. On install it will ask you about debian-mirror being run in cron.daily via debconf and all the other option will be asked there as well in the future. It will create a user mirror when installed and runs as mirror:nogroup when started from /etc/cron.daily/debian-mirror. The package is called debian-mirror and is available from: deb ftp://rut.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de unstable main deb-src ftp://rut.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de unstable main Suggestions to the script are welcome, esspecially: How do I make debconf popup a checklist like: ++ | What distributions should be mirrored? | || | [ ] potato | | [ ] woody | | [ ] sid| || | < OK>| ++ Happy testing, Goswin
