Here's my mirror config file, which successfully ignores all of the buzz
(Debian 1.1) directories I have laying around:
package=debian
site=ftp.debian.org
remote_dir=/debian/
local_dir=/server/ftp/pub/debian/
mail_to=templin
delete_excl=buzz*
Since I've now publicly mentioned that I carry buzz, I'll mention that my
hostname is templinux.bucknell.edu. Since I'm hoping to work on some
network changes, I'm not ready to "announce" it as a public mirror (sorry
Bruce!), but it is usually available 24/7. For those who do explore my
site, /home/ftp is a symlink to /server/ftp, so anonymous users will come
in at /server/ftp. Hope this helps!
