Hi, I was checking some things in the Debian mirror universe and noticed a problem with your mirror: o It seems your mirror is not up to date, having last updated on Fri, 24 Apr 2020 10:23:57 +0000 The Debian archive updates every 6 hours or so, and looking at https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/mirror-info/debian.mirror.ac.za.html the mirror seems to have trouble keeping up recently. o The latest ftpsync versions come with a wrapper script called ftpsync-cron, which is intended to be run out of cron every hour or so (at a randomish offset). The script monitors your upstream mirror, and if there was an update triggers a full sync using ftpsync. You might want to give it a try. NOTE: This requires having your upstream mirror name set correctly to a specific mirror which is also correctly configured (and thus has a tracefile in /debian/project/trace with its name). o The tracefile at http://debian.mirror.ac.za/debian/project/trace/debian.mirror.ac.za is missing some required information. We expect at least the Maintainer and Upstream-mirror values to be filled in, and your tracefile is missing one or both of them. o Your mirror appears not to carry source packages. To comply with the licenses of various pieces of software that you distribute on that mirror, you will probably need to also include sources. To be listed as a Debian mirror in our mirror-list you MUST include sources, e.g. by adding "source" as an included architecture in ftpsync.conf. Cheers, Julien
