Re: aklug mirror server : update

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hey folks.

Just an update:

1. Suse and fedora are continuing to sync. There is a LOT from Suse
that needs downloading. I usually have it run from around 2:30 PM
until about 8 the next morning. However, it still goes.
2. Ubuntu has a few updates that I'm still syncing down, as well.
3. Centos is up to date.
4. I haven't had a chance to fetch MEPIS yet - the mirror (and my DSL
line) have been busy doing other things. If someone has space and
wants to sync things at least partially to something they can take to
the meeting, that would help.

5. The Debian mirrors are still tanking. I'll paste them here:
#!/bin/bash
debmirror -v -a i386 -a ppc -h linux.csua.berkeley.edu -r /debian -d
sarge -d etch -d sid /home/mirror/debian --getcontents
- --ignore-missing-release --progress

#!/bin/bash
debmirror -a amd64 -h mirror.espri.arizona.edu -r /debian-amd64 -d
sarge -d etch -d sid /home/mirror/debian-amd64 --getcontents
- --ignore-missing-release --progress

I don't know what to do with them; I feel like setting up a normal
RSYNC of them from kernel.org or something.

6. The AKLUG server currently has 25G free (which will be less when I
sync my ubuntu mirror + changes back over to the aklug server). Greg
has mentioned a few ways to trim debian fat - we can work on that a
bit on Friday (if he's there).
