mirroring jakarta?

[David Coulthart <da...@columbia.edu>]

I maintain a local mirror (not publically accessible), which carries the
apache software by rsync'ing with www.apache.org::apache-dist.  I've
received a request to mirror jakarta, but I have found that jakarta-dist
is not available via rsync & I don't seem to find any public mirrors
that actually have it either.  I believe I remember reading a thread a
while back about this particular issue, but I wanted to see if there
were any updates on the subject?

The user requesting jakarta specifically noted how slow it is to
retrieve it from apache.org & it seems like this is exactly what a
mirror is supposed to help.  The idea was brought up of using wget to 
mirror jakarta.apache.org/builds/, but I don't really want to have to 
write the script for this & I'd prefer to save the bandwidth by using 
rsync if it all possible.

Thanks,
Dave Coulthart

Nah.  Nagoya has massive bandwidths limitations.  We're best off
finding another machine somewhere to be our rsync master.

Hmm.  I'll try to see if I can scrounge up permission for bandwidth
here.  The PHP guys have asked me before about this.  -- justin

It can be arranged...

Does nagoya run rsync? Just thinking it might be better to sync from there
rather than hammering daedalus any more than is strictly necessary.

Sign,

Please ignore me Pier.  I just worked out the reason our mirror was not
picking up the jakarta stuff in dist appears to be because i was using
the -rlvCH flags - in particular using -C (ignore cvs stuff) appears to
look at the .cvsignore files and not mirror those directories.. which
wasn't quite what i thought it was going to do.

fixed now.

regards,

http://nagoya.apache.org/dist is an RSYNC mirror of Jakarta... (well, of ALL
Apache)... Once I'm over this deadline I'll post more on how to do it...

Though, I believe I posted my scripts on this list few weeks ago (anyone
cares to dig them out?)
