ftpsync1

Mirror debian and debian-like repositories of packages

Usage

ftpsync [OPTION] ... [SYNC-FLAG] ...

Overview

ftpsync is part of the ftpsync suite for mirroring Debian and Debian-like repositories of packages. As there are way too many mirrors of Debian to populate them all from the machine that generates the archive (“ftp-master”), mirrors are organized in a tree-shaped hierarchy. Thus, every mirror has exactly one upstream from which it syncs, and each mirror can have any number of downstreams which in turn sync from it.

Sync flags

Sync flags can be specified on the command-line or via a ssh forced command from the remote side.

sync:archive:foo

Select archive foo for syncing. A config needs to be available.

sync:all

Do a complete sync.

sync:stage1

Only do a stage 1 sync.

sync:stage2

Only do a stage 2 sync.

sync:mhop

Do a special multi-hop sync, usually additionally to stage 1.

sync:callback

Call back when done.
