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?

  6. 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.

    Would you be interested in me doing this ?

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