Re: [Flightgear-devel] mirroring flightgear / scenery

[Peter Morgan]

Is it practical to just SVN up the latest terrasync onto a remote machine
and then ZIP it from there ?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] mirroring flightgear / scenery

[Nathanael Rebsch]

Hi,

Thanks for that reply. that was quite helpful already.
took the last 12 hours for a full sync of mirrors.ibiblio.org::flightgear

as this is done, i still have some things:
- i would rather run http than ftp (or do you require ftp or other 
protocols?)
- for round robin dns, which domain name would hit the server?
- do you use other methods other than round robin dns? (i.e. letting 
users chose themselves?)

thanks.
