The Ubuntu archives use 'bazaar', rather than 'tla' and are stored in a
slightly different format[0] which 'tla' can't understand.
I'd recommend someone (maybe Matt) do the following (and the command
jumping isn't a mistake):
baz register-archive apt@arch.ubuntu.com-SOURCE \
http://arch.ubuntu.com/apt@arch.ubuntu.com/
tla make-archive --listing --signed \
--mirror-from apt@arch.ubuntu.com-SOURCE \
sftp://path/to/public_html/apt@arch.ubuntu.com/
echo "apt@arch.ubuntu.com-SOURCE" \
> ~/.arch-params/signing/apt@arch.ubuntu.com
baz archive-mirror apt@arch.ubuntu.com
And pop the last command in cron, if there's to be continued mirroring
from CVS. This exploits the fact that baz will write to tla archives
without corrupting them to make a tla-accessible mirror of the archive.

Have you ever, ever felt like this?
Had strange things happen? Are you going round the twist?
