[ILUG] Re: apt-get, rawhide and mirroring (fwd)

[Justin Mason]

Any of those .ie mirror admins fancy adding a freshrpms.net mirror?  It's
really turning into a great resource, esp. with the "apt" repositories.

I have a Rawhide repository at home, but behind a 265/128k (I/O) link...
And on the two main freshrpms.net servers (es.freshrpms.net and
nl.freshrpms.net), I must keep the bandwidth usage as low as possible, and
both have only one 9GB drive each anyway, so nope... :-(

I'm still looking for people wanting to mirror ftp.freshrpms.net and/or
apt.freshrpms.net though, but to get extra repositories on a "main"
freshrpms.net server, it would either mean having to put everything on a
server with more disk space, other than the two mine (why not, but nothing
with a link less than 2MB, and I'd need a user access), or me having at
last found a place to have a "personnal" server hosted for free (which
seems impossible here in Spain... :-( despite me trying really hard).

If mirror admins are on this list right now, or if you know some, don't
hesitate to contact me off-list. The only things I ask for are :- A decent
internet link- Keep the original directory structure (/pub/freshrpms as-is)
- Allow me to CNAME ftp.xx.freshrpms.net to the server (xx = country)
- For mirroring apt stuff, configuring an http virtualhost as
  apt.xx.freshrpms.net with the same module names as the original ones

Now, after all these "you must", "you have to", let's see if some people
would still be interested ;-)
