OK, finding my eyes openend up i could download debparanoia
from http://debparanoia.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/debparanoia/trunk/ via WEB directly.
Then i invoked it as "debparanoia -c debparanoia.conf mirror" using
debparanoia.conf from the examples directory:
...
# list of debian package repositories to mirror
# (corresponding to /etc/apt/sources.list config lines 'deb ...')
deb=(
"http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main"
"http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports unstable main"
)
# list of debian source-package repositories to mirror
# (corresponding to /etc/apt/sources.list config lines 'deb-src ...')
deb_src=(
"http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian rc-buggy main"
"http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main"
)
# space-separated list of architectures to mirror
archs="powerpcspe"
...
Unfortunately it fails with "*E* Listing of package-files failed" after
mirroring about 7GB of archive files - debmirror gave me about 34GB.
On another call to debmirror (target directory containing my old powerpcspe archive)
i got some more error messages complaining about running out of open files;
maybe it's a memory issue? I used a (somewhat old) x86 debian squeeze machine.
Any hint's how i could proceed?
