Is there a smart mirror?
I currently maintain a small debian mirror for a local computer user group. I run mirror daily to keep up with the latest version of potato and woody. We have one problem, mirror is quite good at getting the newest packages, but it keeps the old ones. This is quite a problem if you are working with limited disk space. So, what I am asking, is there a smart mirror like program out there?

So, what I am asking, is there a smart mirror like program out there? You're using just the standard mirror utility, version 2.9? If so are you using a package file? I'm not even sure if you can use mirror without a package file, but you might want to come up with one if you're not. Once you have this file mirror will do the deletes if you set this in your package file: do_deletes=true You may also want to twiddle the max_deletes variable to suit your needs. All of this should be covered in the manual and/or doc that comes with mirror. Gary
