The anonftpsync program does not take arguments,
it must be edited to be used. This is annoying
when it comes to mirroring more than one archive.
(e.g. the regular debian archive and volatile.debian.org,
or whatever.)
Attached is a patch that fixes this problem. It does
so in the most painless way possible -- necessary variables
are taken from the environment when they exist.
This allows arguments to be passed to anonftpsync
by setting environment variables on the command line, like:
RSYNC_HOST=rsync.debian.example.com /usr/local/bin/anonftpsync
Note that this patch is expected to be applied after the
bandwidth limit patch of Bug#441460.
See also Debian bug #363349, which complains about this
and more.
