There is a patch for a debmirror for mirroring over http Attached to this mail. Regards, Mathieu Segaud
This patch solved my problem! I was hoping that I wasn't going to re-write my script for this and I didn't have to.
Thanks a lot for all the responses.Now the next question regarding debmirror... It appears that it will only retrieve the contents of a directory as they are listed in the Packages.gz or Sources.gz files. With the default "--cleanup" setting, it destroyed the woody/main/disk-i386 directory from my mirror. I only enabled that setting after deciding that everything was working (I didn't want to re-download the entire archive...)
I only lost the disks-i386 directory, and now have fixed things with a fmirror of that directory and a little interesting linking. My mirror now looks like it should except I have to re-fix the links to disks-i386 every time I sync my mirror to the real one. This is automated but should not be needed.
Is there any plans to add a feature to debmirror to grab entire sub directories so it will be possible to keep things like disks-i386 and even /debian/tools so rawrite.exe is in the mirror.
Thanks again! Loren
