The jigdo-mirror script would be the equivalent of debcdmirror, it could probably use some work since I think I am the only one that has reported usage of it (and I found some issues). > Seriously, I won't be setting up anything until there is a standard > piece of software I can download, configure, make (whatever), point it > at a configuration file and have it operate autonomously, creating the > whole directory hierarchy.

It does depend on the jigdo binary, which should be a simple configure, make, install (if it compiles). But you could always do plain old rsync-mirroring. Sure, you'll download quite a bit more data than strictly needed if you also have a debian mirror, but I woulnd't mind if you did that to "my" mirror (ftp.acc.umu.se, aka ftp.se.debian.org aka ftp.gnome.org). Or you could wait until after the woody release, jigdo is new and really put into place with the distribution of woody images. I'm sure most issues will be dealt with a couple of weeks after that. Actually, that would be my suggestion if you don't want to deal with this now. Run a plain rsync-mirror from us and come back to this issue later when you have the time and the software might have matured a bit. /Mttias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
