I currently mirror three arch locally: i386, amd64 and SPARC. Unfortunately my mirror is currently off-line due to a RAID failure. (I still believe it's the card, but MegaRAID insist that I really did have THREE drives out of a 6-drive RAID5 fail simultaneously...) >>You may want to hold off until the changes are completed (should be a >>few weeks). > > Being lazy I will hold off so I don't have to do the work twice. :-) Sounds like the way to go. > As I need to track what changes I need to make to the rsync script > (anonftpsync) for my i386 mirror what is the best list to subscribe to > to find out what is going on and what changes I need to make. I'm not sure myself yet what the changes will be. A good list to subscribe to would be the following: debian-mirrors-announce@lists.debian.org debian-mirrors@lists.debian.org See http://lists.debian.org/debian-mirrors-announce/ and http://lists.debian.org/debian-mirrors/ to subscribe. I will forward a copy of the info I have concerning the changes to you off-list. Regards, Ozz.
