Seems like debmirror has an undocumented --skip-installer option vis:
# skip debian-installer for each dist in --skip-installer=foo,...
if ($section =~ /debian-installer/) {
my $skipped = 0;
foreach my $skipped_release (@skip_installer) {
if ($dist eq $skipped_release) {
$skipped = 1;
last;
}
}
next if $skipped;
}
I currently configure manually, however next time I have to change the
debmirror script, I'm going to rsync probe the debian-installers
existance to dynamically build the $skip_installer variable which
contains the --skip-installer argument for by current debmirror script:
$debug debmirror --nosource --passive --verbose \
$md5sum \
$pdiff \
$max \
$dry \
$nocleanup \
$small \
$rbatch \
$skip_installer \
$ignore_installer_arch \
--ignore /dist-upgrader-all/ \
--section=main,restricted,universe,multiverse,main/debian-installer \
--method=$method \
--host=$rhost \
--dist=$dist \
--arch=$arch \
--root=$root \
$spoolA/ubuntu
)
So maybe the real bug now is a documentation bug for debmirror(1) as at
least debmirror --help shows --skip-installer as an option.
