It seems you don't use anonftpsync (or not the last version of it).
Actually, there are many arch specific files besides the ones in /pool/:
if you don't exclude them, you waste both disk and bandwidth.
* adapting your ARCH_EXLUCDE variable in anonftpsync
* then delete by hand already mirrored packages that are arch specific :
for arch in alpha amd64 arm hppa hurd-i386 ia64 m68k ipsel mips powerpc s390 sh
sparc
do find /path/debian/dists/. -name *$arch* -exec rm -r {} \;
find /path/debian/pool/ -name *_$arch.deb -exec rm -r {} \;
done
Sync script changed to use anonftpsync (was manually rsync'ed as per the
debian.org website before).
And last but not least, anonftpsync allows your mirror to be available
even during its update (otherwise, plain rsync without special care
break the mirror during the update).
We like to add in Comments the available bandwidth of the mirror, could
you give me this info ?
There are three bandwidth "levels":
* site: is 100Mbit throughout campus (except for wireless, of course)
* local: the University is on the Malta backbone, which connects all
local ISPs
* international: UoM has an international link via GEANT
I have asked for the figures for local & international from IT Services
- will email you again as soon as I get that.
Johann
