Hey, I'd like to make a mirror of the IPS repos for openindiana.org, anyone
have a command they could suggest that could run, maybe using rsync, wget
or curl?
Any other suggestions? I'd like to try out mirroring it on an Amazon S3
bucket, see how much it'd cost to use.
Thanks in advance. Happy New Year! :)
Well, there is a number of Google hits on OI wiki alone ;)

* The latter was my overview of the procedure with many links in
the end.
There are two procedures: unpack a tarball or rsync from scratch,
or unpack the tarballs and rsync over that. The main problem with
tarballs is that every release used a different directory structure
inside the tarball, so it is problematic to be certain that you've
properly applied several tarballs to have many repos for different
releases all-in-one, so rsync is more straightforward to my taste.
Also there is a legacy tarball (60Gb or so) which is outside the
OI repos' scope and is provided separately.
Happy new year! :)
