From my understanding of Justin's email... The ASF is not looking forpeople to mirror the apache web sites so change your rsync script to point fo apache-dist as this is specific to the distributions directory on the apache server.
We will keep the other rsync modules open as they have some cool stuff underneath - especially the mail archives. =)
But, most mirrors will probably only be interested in the apache-dist module for now. If you want to use more bandwidth (ours and yours) and more disk space (only yours), feel free to rsync the others...
Again, we might rethink our policy of mirroring the website in the future (just not anytime soon). Right now, we're doing such a poor job of mirroring, that it is much more important to get distribution of releases using mirrors. Once the dust settles and if our bandwidth is still a major concern, we'll investigate mirroring more of our content. Baby steps! -- justin
