I am trying to set up a rsync mirror on my local server so I can update
several machines on my network. I have successfully setup the mirror as well
as exported the mirror with nfs. I can see the nfs mount on my local
machines just fine. My problem is that apt is reporting this error (from the
local workstations):
...
Failed to fetch file:/mnt/kde2/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/Packages
File not found
Failed to fetch file:/mnt/kde2/dists/potato/optional/binary-i386/Packages
File not found
Failed to fetch file:/mnt/kde2/dists/potato/crypto/binary-i386/Packages
File not found
...
My apt sources.list line on the workstations looks like this:
deb file:/mnt/kde2 potato main optional crypto
The nfs mount on the local machine looks like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /mnt/kde2
beta crypto main optional
The mirror on the server looks like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /mirror/kde2
beta crypto main optional
For some reason I'm not getting the dists directory. I suspect that I have
incorrectly setup the rsync mirror. Here is what I'm using to rsync the
mirror (slightly modified script from Joaquim Ortega-Cerda and Achim Bohnet,
thanks for posting that!):
Called from a cron job:
#!/bin/bash
#/usr/sbin/mirror_kde2
# declare variables
tdyc_mirror_root="/mirror/kde2/"
connection_up=`ifconfig | grep ppp0`
# function to do rsync stuff
do_rsync_function ()
{
cd $tdyc_mirror_root
exec rsync -az --delete --delete-excluded \
--exclude source/ \
--exclude incoming/ \
--exclude changes/ \
--exclude qt1apps/ \
--exclude binary-alpha/ \
--exclude binary-m68k/ \
--exclude binary-sparc/ \
--exclude binary-powerpc/ \
--exclude beta/ \
kde.tdyc.com::kde/dists/potato/ .
}
# need a test to see if online
# then start connection as necessary
if [ "$connection_up" == "" ]; then
pon bellsouth
sleep 1m
do_rsync_function
else
do_rsync_function
fi
TIA,
Jesse
