Hi Aleksi,

FTP Admins <ftp-...@acc.umu.se> can probably set you up with push
triggers.  Otherwise, the latest ftpsync versions come with a wrapper
script called ftpsync-cron, which is intended to be run out of cron
every hour or so (at a randomish offset).  The script monitors your
upstream mirror, and if there was an update triggers a full sync using
ftpsync.  You might want to give it a try.

Regarding HTTPS, feel free to set it up for non-debian.org names, that's
generally a good idea.

Thanks,
Julien
