Mirroring Dotdeb
August 25th, 2008 | by Guillaume Plessis |If Dotdeb is useful for you and if you want to mirror it, just add a cron job to periodically fetch the packages :
rsync -a --delete rsync.dotdeb.org::packages/ /your/local/path/
Then, if you wish your mirror to appear on the mirrors list, send me its full URL.
Note 1 : mirroring once a day should be enough. More frequent updates could lead to a ban without any warning.
Note 2 : Using anything else than Rsync (Wget, HTTrack…) could lead to a ban without any warning.

At this time, it needs between 100 and 150 GB per month.

Thx for the fast answer,
and how many disk_space for all packages?
By Guillaume Plessis on Sep 19, 2008 | Reply
about 500MB of free disk space are needed.
Please ensure your mirror is NOT in a already-listed country, before submiting your request.

Ah, ok
Germany is already listed
Thx for your great service anyways!

Hi
I’m mirror dotdeb in Australia, but I would also like to mirror http://archives.dotdeb.org/
Would you be interested in me doing this ?
If do you you think you could add an rsync share ?
Cheers
Mike

Are you providing an apt-key gpg key for your repository?
