Alright, I've setup https://git-htmldocs.bogomips.org/ for my own usage, at least. It should check for updates twice an hour(*), and plain HTTP is also available in case Let's Encrypt goes away. Can't hurt to have more mirrors: ----------------------8<--------------------- #!/bin/sh set -e DST=/path/to/server-docroot/git-htmldocs # my mirror of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs.git: GIT_DIR=/path/to/mirrors/git-htmldocs.git export GIT_DIR # rsync from a temporary dir for atomicity so nobody fetches # a partially written file tmp="$(mktemp -t -d htmldocs.XXXXXXX)" git archive --format=tar HEAD | tar x -C "$tmp" chmod 755 "$tmp" rsync -a "$tmp/" "$DST/" rm -rf "$tmp" # for servers which support pre-gzipped files (e.g. gzip_static in nginx) find "$DST" -type f -name '*.html' -o -name '*.txt' | while read file do gz="$file.gz" if ! test -e "$gz" || test "$gz" -ot "$file" then gztmp="$gz.$$.tmp" gzip -9 <"$file" >"$gztmp" touch -r "$file" "$gztmp" mv "$gztmp" "$gz" fi done --- (*) On a side note, It would be nice to something like IMAP IDLE for real-time updates of mirrors. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
