I know how to use rsync, set up a server (not even needed in my case) etc. The interesting info is what should be excluded. It may be a good idea to provide a full repo / top level directory list for a tier-1 mirror (or a link to it if already available on the wiki) so users can create a complete --exclude-from list from the start instead of incrementally adding to it when they discover they are downloading things they don't need. I know you can use rsync to get such a listing, but still. Ciao, -- FA There are three of them, and Alleline.
