I don't really understand you. There was a change in the directory structure, but this won't happen again. If there will be another update all the filenames will be the same. Ah, ok. Of they won't change again there is no need. We will also run out of space after the sid images have managed to sync. (We only had about 4 gig left or so.) We are contacting our disk sponsor about this, and hopefully we'll get another nice disk. Wow, you have a disk sponsor! I would need one too ;) The very nice people at southpole (.se) that used to run ftp.se.debian.org are still involved in providing this service to the public, even if they aren't running it directly any more. I wonder a bit if some of the bigger linux supporters (IBM springs to mind) can't be convinced to donate some disk to these important services. You might want to try and contact them. The hardest part would probably to get in touch with the right person(s). Ah, the potato images was moved and the symlink doesn't point to a place that exists over here, would it be safe in the future to copy symlinks as the files/directories they point towards? The potato images won't change in the future. If you need them download with ftp and exclude them from the rsync process. Ok, we will do that when we have diskspace for it, I think. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Which is kind of silly, setting up a disk pool or something, that nice sites like yours (ours?) could ask for storage from. It would be a fairly low cost operation, and enable more mirrors/sites to stay around and have more content. But anyway, keep on asking. Just because you are most likely to get a no, doesn't mean you will always get a no. But if you never ask, you will never get anything. But a smaller, local sponsor would probably be easier to convince, if you can find them. /Mattias Wadenstein - with some general rants -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Unofficial Debian SID CDs
Hello, I started to produce Debian SID install CDs on ftp.fsn.hu and also updated the woody ones. BTW, due to disk problems I have to stop updating the potato extra CDs which hold non-free and other user requested software (but they remain available). The current sid set stands of 6 CDs. The last one is the non-free CD, so it is necessary only if you want to install "non-free" software. This is the case with the woody sets too, so the last CD contains Debian non-free packages only. You can access the CDs at the URLs below: ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/[dist] http://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/[dist] rsync://ftp.fsn.hu/cdimages/debian-unofficial/[dist] The SID filenames and their MD5 checksums are: (sid-i386-1.raw) = 2c98fef361bc3deff56788613d0414f7 (sid-i386-2.raw) = 2c38faaba68e21936f9c80da6f311c6b (sid-i386-3.raw) = b1349d08033e01727289d4287abb28a1 (sid-i386-4.raw) = 6fc4cc2a58e41546e57f368fd5840946 (sid-i386-5.raw) = 8beecc700120ca51c05ead689e5b60ab (sid-i386-6.raw) = 7843317ba1322a32e730badcbfbb31d5 The WOODY filenames and MD5 checksums: (woody-i386-1.raw) = 999d29e4594fb5fe53820f40b798bc35 (woody-i386-2.raw) = 941a19a7b005e75dfc4b212ebfa570af (woody-i386-3.raw) = 2bbc2a3a8bcb0fcdca49b162e6ee2190 (woody-i386-4.raw) = 6c70ea68c3459b5cd29bba33414af0bf (woody-i386-5.raw) = 52148950b270024702b03a00bea0ffb7 I will try to make at least weekly updates, but first I need to get a large disk to do a local debian mirror to my desktop computer :( This set is courtesy of Apostol Computer Ltd, they lent me a big IDE disk :) ps: these files will be (hopefully) appear soon on the mirrors below: ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/debian-cd/unoffical [Australia] ftp://omega.elte.hu/mirror/debian-unofficial [Hungary] ftp://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/cd-images/debian-unofficial [Sweden] Please test these CDs if you can and write me or to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I use the debian-cd script) in case of problems.

That way the rsync won't start by deleting the woody isos and then downloading them in full to another name. Since we seem to get about 70K/s it will take most of today to sync everything.

We are contacting our disk sponsor about this, and hopefully we'll get another nice disk. We might manage to find some temporary storage (borrow a couple of disks), I'm looking into that right now. Hopefully it will be solved today. This would mean some small downtime of course, but it shouldn't be more than 15 minutes. Ah, the potato images was moved and the symlink doesn't point to a place that exists over here, would it be safe in the future to copy symlinks as the files/directories they point towards? Since we are going to run out of space soon, I don't think that a full mirror of ftp.fsn.hu would be a good idea. ;) I hope I don't come across as complaining or anything, it is great that these cd-images exists. I'm just trying to make them more available. :) /Mattias Wadenstein - ftp.se.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
