Package: debmirror
Version: 20070123
Severity: wishlist
Debmirror works for me (mirroring lenny and etch and squeeze), but the
manpage looks kinda outdated, and at first i got the impression, this
could be software soon to be deprecated.
I think, the newest debian-version mentioned in the manpage should not
be sarge, but squeeze or so, and what I really missed was a section
about return codes. (So I could run debmirror from a script).
And another enhancement, which i would like to see in the program is a
means to limit the bandwidth which it uses while mirroring.
Thanks!

This is now done.

As Holger pointed out, there are other tools to do that. Also, if you use
the rsync method, you can use rsync's option for limiting bandwidth.
I don't feel debmirror needs to duplicate such functionality.
