Thanks for your submission (an old one was processed in #328651), so the
bugs have been merged.

You are recommended to fix the issues spotted in #328651, still
present on your mirror :
- out of date local trace file
http://debian.cict.fr/project/trace/anubis.cict.fr (that should be named
debian.cict.fr)
It helps us to do quality assurance on mirrors.

Do you think you can make the mirror also available under the debian/
directory ?
Having a common path for both ftp and http access is quite convenient.

It seems you also mirror hurd-i386 (the mirror scripts do exclusion, not 
inclusion)
http://debian.cict.fr/pool/main/b/base-files/ 

Moreover, http://debian.cict.fr/dists/unstable/ should list only the
architectures your mirror provides. (the same for other directories under 
dists/)

You should delete by hand all *$arch* files for architectures you don't
mirror. (Because a successfull apt-get update would make people think
that the arch is provided by your mirror).

We strongly recommend you to use the official example script
<http://www.debian.org/mirrors/anonftpsync>

It will only mirror the required files (excluding the relevant files in
dists/), takes care of the local trace file.

The sync method in this script is almost atomice, the --delay-updates
and --delete-after options combined with a two stages rsync allow to
greatly reduce the time a Debian mirror is not consistent and users
cannot fetch packages.

So every Debian mirror admin should use these new options. Be careful,
--delete-after is consuming space during the update !

Please confirm that you switched to such a kind of script.

Best regards and thanks for mirroring Debian.
