Want to mirror Debian CDs
Hi,
The IBM LTC at Beaverton, Oregon, USA uses Debian quite a bit and have
asked that I include the Debian ISO images along with the other
distributions I currently mirror. The machine I would use for this is a
UNIX variant (Sequent (now IBM) DYNIX/ptx).
After reading the debcdmirror script and what it takes for maintenance,
I think the route I want to take is just to rsync the iso images straight
across - I'm not sure I want to build ISO images on my end and am unclear
why I would want to unless the distribution is not fixed, but changes.
I thought changes of this nature would go in an update directory.
Could you please tell me how to use rsync to grab the iso's, and what is
needed to maintain the mirrors when the distribution changes? Hopefully
cron is all I would need.
I am already mirroring the deb files off of an internal IBM mirror based in
Raleigh, North Dakota, USA but what I am really after are premade ISO files
I can have people burn to disk using cdrecord.
Thank you,
David Gray
