Ok, you mirror from ftp.es.d.o for the archive, ftp.fi.d.o for ISOs. The current format of the list of mirrors doesn't allow to specify different upstream mirrors, but that is only indicative information. Since ftp.es.d.o is supposed to provide CD images, once this problem is fixed, you will be able to fetch all the updates from ftp.es.d.o > I can't generate the images using jigdo as far as I know as the mirror > server itself doesn't run linux, it runs solaris (see http://mirror.ac.za, > the debian mirror is part of this system on a solaris zone). Ok, no problem with that. > If you guys need a za official mirror btw, I'm quite prepared to take that > on as well once we get everything 100% (I'm also official for > ftp.za.freebsd.org and za.archive.ubuntu.com) It would be great. For that the only feature you should add is using push-mirroring (method that solves also the problem of the choice of the frequency updates) : http://www.debian.org/mirrors/official http://www.debian.org/mirrors/push_mirroring > I've sorted out the sync to sync at 1am GMT+2 once a day. Please take care of using the official tool http://www.debian.org/mirrors/anonftpsync (or at least the same rsync methods), since it allows the mirror to be fully usuable by users even during the updates. > Do I need to submit updates for the ftp.fi stuff? No, once ftp.es.d.o will carry ISO again, I will notice you. Your mirror has been added to the list, it will appear on a few hours on the website. I rename the bug for the ftp.za.debian.org proposal.
