rsync mirrors?

2005-05-20 Thread Pedro Sanchez
Hello, I want to maintain a local debian-amd64 mirror in our lab, ideally by rsync-ing some mirror in North America. Are there any I can use? It'd be good if http://amd64.debian.net/README.mirrors.html had pointers to available rsync servers. Also, I'm behind a corporate firewall which will prev

Mirroring debian-pure64 using debmirror

2005-04-01 Thread Pedro Sanchez
Hi, I'm testing debmirror as a tool to have an internal mirror of debian-pure64. This is the command I am using: # debmirror --host=debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org --root=:debian-pure64 --dist=sarge,sid --arch=amd64 --nosource --method=rsync --ignore-missing-release --ignore-release-gpg --timeout=

"official" enough for debmirror to swallow. How do you mirror alioth? I'm thinking of using plain rsync so that no one bothers checking md5sum signatures. -- Pedro On Wed, 2005-03-02 at 14:41 -0500, Brett Viren wrote: > "Pedro Sanchez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

Thanks for the suggestions. I want to use rsync anyways. debmirror seems to support it but apt-mirror ans apt-proxy don't. I'll then start with debmirror. So, again, are there any AMD64 rsync servers that I can use? Is alioth rsync-enabled? -- Pedro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTEC

Setting up an internal Debian AMD64 mirror

2005-03-02 Thread Pedro Sanchez
Hello, I'd like to set up an internal mirror of the AMD64 distros (pure64 and debian-pure64). Ideally I'd like to use the same rsync script that we already use to mirror Debian x86. Are there any rsync servers available? I could as well experiment with some other packages that manage Debian mirror

This is an update for the sake of completeness with this thread so that it is helpful in future references. We finally got Debian AMD64 installed in our two machines. Two changes were required: 1. Upgrade the Tyan BIOS to the latest version. This solved the problem of the installer failing to ini

More SATA troubles to report. I'm using this sid-amd64-netinst.iso (Feb. 11, 2005) to install Debian-amd64 on two in theory identical new dual-AMD64 boxes (Mobo Tyan Thunder K8W, S2885). The hard drives are Seagate Barracuda, 200G, Model ST3200822A8. Attached you will find the lspci output. Bootin
