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.

    Been trying to email you but all emails sent to your php.net address are not going through and bouncing back. Please email me a address that does not do this. Thanks.

    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?
    Sorry for posting this here, but I didn’t find a closer thread ;)

    tried sending this direct but got a spam bounce

    rsync has been stuck and failing all day on IPv6

    i’ve manually forced rsync to use IPv4 for now but thought better to make you aware

    I’ve just set up a mirror in US Sanjose for those who have poor connection to the official US mirror. Suppose to update every 5 days.

    http://dotdeb.7086.in/

    1G port, 2T bandwidth per month

    greeting.

    It’s not a poor connection… it’s a throttled connection so that many connections can be made and not sucking up bandwidth for just a few. And no one else has said anything about the connection until now.

    I’m not complaining about it, but providing an alternative source for those who need it. Sorry if I made you confusing.
