hello all,<snip>
i'd like to make a local mirror of Mandrake (mainly for the security updates,
but i don't mind mirroring the ISOs also). this is mainly going to be for
internal and local subscriber use. i may make the mirror available to
selected IPs upon request (criteria would be, few hops, local peering
with upstream ISP).
if anyone's done that, how do you do updates? i'd rather do rsync
updates if possible, but wget updates are OK, i guess, or whatever
is best. if anyone has a mirror already, i'd love to update from them
(similar criteria as above, i wouldn't want to stress your outbound link
excessively).
definitely via rsync. mandrakeusers.org already has an update and cooker mirror up and running and updates are done via rysnc.
if you want to ask questions for specifics, ask anon (one of the site admins) as he is the one doing the mirroring bit. you can sign up on the board and send him a private message (sorry i forgot his email address, but he is always on the board so you should get a quick reply).
ciao!
