Hi, please have a look at the new <http://www.debian.org/CD/mirroring/>, I hope the information is now closer to the truth than before. :-7
Mattias, is the page correct from your POV? Some further notes: * The rsync URL for the beta/unstable/testing images does not have a "pub/" in it, unlike the HTTP/FTP URLs. Is it worth it to make this uniform or should we just leave it like that? * I'm boldly declaring on the page that DVD images have names ending in -dvd.iso and dual-layer images have names ending in -dldvd.iso! * For consistency, should CD images' names end in -cd.iso? It might make it easier for mirror admins to in/exclude CD images from mirroring. * I don't remember clearly what the plans WRT full DVD images were: Will there be a full set of images for all arches? Probably not... full set for i386? One DVD image for i386? What about dual-layer? %-| (IOW: Mattias, how much disk space will be available by release time?;) <http://www.debian.org/CD/mirroring/#names> is probably wrong ATM. * Could /export/ftp/pub/cdimage-testing on farbror be made writable by deb-cd? I'd like to install a cron job which runs "du" over the CD image directories, so that prospective mirror admins can always get up-to-date info on the actual size requirements. I was thinking of publishing the "du" output as /export/ftp/pub/cdimage-testing/cdmirror-sizes.txt...

I'll see if I can get the checker's output integrated in the pages - doing that looks a bit difficult.

The rsync --include/--exclude options on the page now also describe how to in/exclude by filename. The directory listing will look confusing especially to new Debian users because e.g. DVD and CD .jigdo files will be all mixed up. However, I've thought for a while that just linking to Apache dir listings is not a good idea considering the growing number of download possibilities. *sigh*, yet another little project to come up with an intuitive set of pages... :-) Cheers, Richard -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | GnuPG key: | \/¯| http://atterer.net | 0x888354F7 ¯ '` ¯ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
