howdy,
i'm trying to use debmirror, to create a local mirror so that i can use
fai(1) for automatic installs. i'm using the command below (2), but i keep
getting errors (3). the problem comes with the 'proposed-updates' section.
the repository doesn't appear to have any release or package information.
can someone explain how this is supposed to be mirrored, and how these
files (Release, Release.gpg, etc.) should be created.
thanks.
(1) http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/
(2) command
/usr/bin/debmirror --host=ftp.us.debian.org -r debian \
--dist=woody --dist=dists/woody-proposed-updates \
--dist=sid --dist=dists/sid-proposed-updates \
--dist=sarge --dist=dists/sarge-proposed-updates \
--verbose --passive --getcontents \
--nosource --arch=i386 --ignore=disks-i386 \
-s main,contrib,non-free \
/files/scratch/debmirror/debian
