Re: hamm-only mirror

[Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@rosebud.sps.queensu.ca>]

Joey,

Here's my current /etc/mirror/packages/debian.crosslink.net which gets bo and
hamm, but still has the hooks to exclude rex. You should be able to get what
you want by adding a line a la

	exclude_patt+|bo(-updates)?/|

which augments the set of exclusion patterns by all directories matching
	bo/
	bo-updates/

It is straightforward to test modifications. Just use the '-n' switch to use
mirror in 'as if' mode without actually retrieving/deleting files:

	$ mirror -n /etc/mirror/packages/debian.crosslink.net | tee /tmp/r1
	$ edit /etc/mirror/packages/debian.crosslink.net
	$ mirror -n /etc/mirror/packages/debian.crosslink.net | tee /tmp/r2
	$ diff /tmp/r1 /tmp/r2

So here it comes, I added some more comments where useful after #** so that you
don't have to edit the file to take them out.
