I apologize for the over-length lines. I don't like to break-up these
kinds of lines.

I use this script:

#------------Begin Script

        #! /bin/sh
        set -e
        
        # This script originates from http://www.debian.org/mirror/anonftpsync
        
        # Note: You MUST have rsync 2.0.16-1 or newer, which is available in slink
        # and all newer Debian releases, or at http://rsync.samba.org/
        
        # Set the variables below to fit your site. You can then use cron to have
        # this script run daily to automatically update your copy of the archive.
        
        # Don't forget:
        # chmod 744 anonftpsync
        
        # TO is the destination for the base of the Debian mirror directory
        # (the dir that holds dists/ and ls-lR).
