Hi,
apt-mirror(1) partially reads:
COMMENTS
apt-mirror uses /etc/apt/mirror.list as a configuration
file. By default it is tuned to official Debian or Ubuntu
mirrors. Change it for your needs.
After you setup the configuration file you may run as root:
# su - apt-mirror -c apt-mirror
Or uncomment line in /etc/cron.d/apt-mirror to enable
daily mirror updates.
[...]
CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES
The mirror.list configuration supports many options, the
file is well commented explinging each option. here are
some sample mirror configuration lines showing the various
supported ways :
Normal: deb http://example.com/debian stable main contrib
non-free
Arch Specific: ( many other arch's are supported )
deb-powerpc http://example.com/debian stable main contrib
non-free
HTTP and FTP Auth or non-standard port: deb
http://user:p...@example.com:8080/debian stable main
contrib non-free
Source Mirroring: deb-src http://example.com/debian stable
main contrib non-free
Essentially what that says is that the default
/etc/apt/mirror.list file *is* the only documentation provided
with the package. If the user changes it "too much", the
documentation is lost.
Can you provide a readme or a manpage for the configuration
file? Worst case: copy the default file to the examples
directory.
Thanks,
Marcelo
