I wanted this so that I can build squeeze install CDs with the sid d-i without the bandwidth cost of mirroring all of both distributions. Debmirror currently makes this tricky because it always mirrors the complete cross-product of sections x dists which it is given. I tried using separate invocations of debmirror to mirror different suites but the clean up phase will delete the files downloaded by the other invocations (i.e. mirroring sid will delete all the testing files from the pool and vice versa). I could disable cleanup for the second and subsequent invocations but then my mirror will grow without bound over time... It would be useful if the cleanup phase had a mode where it could consider the complete contents of dists/* rather than just the ones it is currently mirroring. I currently workaround this by mirroring sid and testing into separate trees and using a bunch of symlinks + rsync to a 3rd tree to create a merged mirror. Ian. -- Ian Campbell ...
