Has anyone know of a method for mirroring through apt? I'm aware of
apt-move, but I can't seem to get it to do a complete mirror that grabs
everything and not just the distribution that I have in the sources.list.
It also creates empty directories for all the architectures, regardless of
whether they are actually used or not.
have you looked at the debmirror package? it does this pretty well,
and has examples at the bottom of the manpage. however, i think
it only does rsync and ftp. wonder why it doesn't do http...
Well http is not that easy to parse and handle when you try to mirror a
whole dir recursiv especially when directory index is forbidden.
If you intend to use debmirror I suggest to use it with debmirror-wrapper
http://people.debian.org/~absurd/debmirror-wrapper
Another solution might be apt-proxy but IIRC it uses rsync as backend.
No, it can use http, ftp or rsync as backend, depending on what you specify...
man apt-proxy:
[...]
DESCRIPTION
apt-proxy is an advanced shell script designed to be run out of inetd,
and provides a clean, caching, intelligent proxy for apt-get, which
speaks HTTP to apt-get clients, and http, rsync or ftp to the back-end
server(s). Usually it is run on port 9999, mainly because that is the
default configuration, and people are lazy.
