I see a lot of "Not symlinking ..." errors and empty directories. Could someone send me their package entry for FreeBSD? Mine is currently: package=freebsd comment=The FreeBSD Project use_files=true site=ftp.freebsd.org remote_dir=/pub/FreeBSD/ local_dir+/.1/freebsd/ exclude_patt=.*/.mirror do_deletes=false I use "mirror -d -pfreebsd /root/mirror/ftp.io.org" to update the local archives. Should I be doing something different? On a related note, is there an established procedure for mirroring the Web site? In particular, I'd like to have the mailing list archives and search engine available locally, just for kicks. :) -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@io.org) Systems Administrator, Internex Online Inc.
