Mirroring packages hosted elsewhere
Our goal is to provide services, not just bandwidth.
However, since our original goal is to provide services for the GNUProject, we can, as an exception, mirror GNU packages whose maindevelopment platform is not Savannah.
This has to be done manually. Submit a support request if you need it. Arequirement is to provide us with rsync access to your repository.
Technically: create apackagenamersync
user, member ofpackagename
,then go to /subsystems/cvs/etc/cron.d/rsync_external_cvs_repositoriesand follow the template. The mirroring process will exclude CVSROOT/(AccessToCVSROOT for details), except CVSROOT/history andCVSROOT/valtags.
