I want to have a mirror archive on my laptop, and keep it up to date, so I can update the three ops PCs I have at work from my local mirror, and to simplify keeping them all in sync wrt versions.
My first attempt sits like this: On my workstation (Debian GNU/Linux) I created a samba share and used the cywin download tool to download to disk, to my samba share. This was fine, except a few days later when I went to update the local repository, the mirror I had been using had stopped working - so I went back again and used a different mirror. The problem: Looking at my local repository directory, it appears that there is a funky looking "mirror-name-with-percent-signs-etc" top level directory FOR EACH MIRROR. So I quickly stopped the second download/ update, assuming it would go and redownload the entire archive. If my assumption that it would redownload everything is correct, this is a ridiculous waste of bandwidth, and unacceptable. So, where do I go from here?
