Try Joey Hess' debmirror: http://cvs.kitenet.net/~checkout~/joey-cvs/bin/ debmirror?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain (merge onto one line) You can have it mirror multiple distributions, multiple sections, multiple architectures, whatever. Mirroring woody binaries and sid sources might take two runs and a bit of thought (--nocleanup will probably come in handy). -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
