Hello,
I saw on the Web a discussion about forcing mirror
to follow the symlinks and actually download the
files they point to (especially useful if you want
to, for example, mirror debian/unstable). Alas, I
can't get it to work. My package file looks like this:
package=debian-unstable

This works for me:
$ mirror-master /etc/mirror/mm/Hamm
where
/etc/mirror/mm/hamm --

How do I mirror hamm-only, so that mirror actually gets the files
of the packages that still reside in bo, rather than only the symlinks
to them?
Now I've got:
package=debian-hamm
site= ftp.nl.net
local_dir=/home/joost/debian/hamm
remote_user=anonymous

I'm not certain, but I think bash has some built in variables that affect
the behavior with respect to links.

It doesn't understand that /raid/home/blp and /home/blp are the same
directory. Either set your home directory in /etc/passwd to /raid/home/blp,
or put a "cd" command in your .bash_profile .

My root partition is just 100 MB or so, just enough to host my 13 GB
RAID-0 array of 3 UW SCSI disks, which is mounted at /raid. /usr,
/home, and so on are symlinks into /raid, like this:
drwxr-xr-x bin
drwxrwsr-x boot
drwxrwsr-x cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx debian -> mirror/debian/hamm/hamm/binary
drwxr-xr-
If you try to get a copy of the debian archive (say devel) with
ncftp's get -R command, you'll mostly get a directory full of
symlinks. Using get devel.tar does the same thing.
Is there an easy way to get the actual files, following the links?
Thanks
