I'm trying to mirror the entire debian tree. When I do a: mirror -d -gmaster.debian.org:/pub/Linux/Debian/* It works. But... When I do a: mirror -d -RDebian /etc/mirror/packages/master.debian.org I get: package=Debian master.debian.org:/pub/Linux/Debian -> /debian Scanning local directory /debian Scanning remote directory /pub/Linux/Debian Cannot change to remote directory (/pub/Linux/Debian/Incoming/DONE) because: 550 /pub/Linux/Debian/Incoming/DONE: Permission denied. Cannot get remote directory details (/pub/Linux/Debian) disconnecting from master.debian.org
All done, Exiting Any clues? TIA -- Daniel Stringfield mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jax-inter.net/users/servo Send email for more information on the Jacksonville Linux Users Group!
# Example parameter file for the Debian GNU/Linux "mirror" package # # This serves as an illustration for a valid mirror parameter file. See the # man page mirror(1) and the files in /usr/doc/mirror/examples/* for details. # # You can use this as a starting point for a local mirror of parts of the # Debian distribution. As an example, it is set up to ignore non-i386 # architecture, sources, msdos-8.3-named files, the mailing list archives # as well as the WebPages for www.debian.org. It will take up around 200 MB. # # It worked for me when I wrote it, but it might fail for you. No warranties # whatsoever.
