I did a trial run, using the command: rsync -rtvz --dry-run --delete --exclude incoming dev.apache.org::apache-site /local/path/to/mirror It impertinently told me that everything in my mirror site would be deleted. I assume this has something to do with local timestamps, as I have until now been using mirror.pl to maintain the site ... I tried a dry run again with the -I flag (ignore timestamps) and it seemed a little different. What's the tide of opinion? Should I just forge ahead with rsync, deleting and refetching most of this mirror? Or is there some clever way to "port" our mirror?
