Andrew,
-- Great stuff; thanks.
-- I can't read the faq; I assumed you were working on it.
-- requirements: the apache mirror must reside in "/".
The local mirror is refered to in index.html as
<a href="/dist/">from here</a>
-- The archivelist.html shows the various archives. Good.
However, there are dependencies: some are included in
others. How can you mirror 'all' without ducplicates?
How can you mirror 'all' without 'jakarta'?
-- At one time or another we had to throw in an extra
--exclude=shadow/ --exclude=bugs/ to avoid problems.
Using '--safe-links' is advisable.
-- The 'jakarta-site' and 'xml-site' account for 80.7%
of the archive size. I only looked at the 'jakarta'
stuff and it is 99% useless for 99.999% of archive users.
It should be divided in 'devel', 'dist' and 'hist' (-ory).
Mirrors should be allowed to only carry the 'dist' stuff.
I tried to mirror the jakarta-site, but the servers
are way to slow; it took days to get into sync.
Mirrorring it is a complete waste of resources.
Possibly (probably) the same goes for 'xml-site'.
-- Q: Why are the local urls in apache-mirror/index.html
refering to '/' (eg HREF="/dist/", HREF="/foundation/")
instead of subdirectories (eg HREF="dist/", "foundation/").
A: Because the maintainters refuse to correct this.
Below is a index.php page that tries to fix it.
Throw in an --exclude='*.php'.
