I will include a request for various rsync tags in my next big ibiblio request email. This will allow mirrors to cron an rsync to various portions of our site, and thus mirror them.

I will post back here the details when it's ready.. but give me a week or two. I will make sure it's done before we go 1.0, so we can survive the onslaught. ;)

My LUG has set up a hefty mirroring server on a t1 line, i was wondering
if mirroring everything sourcemage has (the source tarballs from all
packages, etc) is something we want, because provided disk space and some
scripts the mirror will gladly take care of that, if we want it. Is there
a way to add in default mirrors for all spells in the new sorcery? Let
me know if interested.

this mirror is listed as an official mirror of the kernel and debian,
it got listed as a default mirror for redhat 8.0 on the windows getright
app, and for a week or so dumped off 200gb a day, i think also mirrors
a number of other distributions, its part of a research project of some
sort. And so of course, is no small thing.

Anyways, I know ive offered to mirror everything a couple of times,
despite my not so fast, but faster then average DSL line, but never really
gotten much of a response. This connection is trivially faster, and id be
rather frustrated to see an offer like this just drift by...

let me know.

This is something that Ryan will be taking care of with help from someone, but
the important thing is to wait until we have frozen to test at least...
otherwise you might have to re-mirror quite often. After 10 oct we have two
weeks to test/refine that grimoire for 24 oct when it will become a frozen
stable grimoire (rc1) which must then be mirrored (or anyhoe, it will be the
one we need to supply hosted sources for!).

Thanks for the offer, I am sure we will use any and all offers we get!
