And apart of that "missing" images from user (who looking for ISO files)
point of view.
From someone who try to mirror debian-cd, at the moment I'm taking care
of ftp.th.debian.org/{debian,debian-backports,debian-cd,debian-volatile,
debian-security}. I found that the 'trace' files of debian-cd in
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/project/trace
is not up-to-date. There are also 'trace' in
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.4/trace
should we treat mirroring debian-cd differently from other mirrors?
(debian, debian-{backports, volatile, security})
IMHO, yes, mirror everything except .iso files. Run the ftpsync script
once a week should enough. Using hook script to generate ISO from jigdo
file and template. ls-lR.gz file and indices directory at top level of
debian-cd/ (like one exists on debian/) also nice to have.
Cheers,
cj
