mirroring question
Hello all,
I used the sample script posted to the "POSSIBLE BUG : some woody packages
coming from potato and not pool?" thread by Colin Watson. I am able to
mirror at home the us/non-US and security sections using this
sample. There were a few mods required to get stable and testing too but
all is working well.
It's amazing how fast you can make a new woody/sarge/sid box over a lan!
The question I have is, how can I get a mirror copy over http only? There
are a couple of apt-get'able archives I use parts of and would like to
mirror them as well for my own use. The problem is, they only allow http
access. I have tried wget in "mirror" mode but I have yet to be able to
keep it from wandering outside of the specific section I want to
mirror. It also gets all the possible index versions (Apache index sorted
by each possible thing) and just makes thing rather cluttered.
I just want to pull a copy of these packages just like they sit in the
apt-get'able directory structure so I don't have to re-create the
Packages[.gz] files and such...
I assume that I missed something easy here so if you know of the howto or
something, just hit me over the head with the link...
Thanks!
Loren
