I expanded on it a little because I have a dialup connection. It's not guru
scripting but it works. This one is for i386 systems. I export the mirror
nfs so I can use it for a couple of machines. Here's the /etc/fstab line on
my local machines (this is supposed to be all on one line):
servername:/mirror/kde2 /mnt/kde2 nfs
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,hard,ro
and their corresponding sources.list line
deb file:/mnt/kde2 potato main crypto optional
===================================
#!/bin/bash
#/usr/sbin/mirror_kde2
# declare variables
tdyc_mirror_root="/mirror/kde2/dists/potato/"
connection_up=`ifconfig | grep ppp0`
# function to do rsync stuff
do_rsync_function ()
{
cd $tdyc_mirror_root
exec rsync -v -v -az --dry-run --delete --delete-excluded \
--exclude source/ \
