Howto become an official Mandriva mirror

Procedure to be inserted into the official Mandriva Mirrors list

Contents


If you have a large internet connection (10 MBit or more) and available disk space (200 GB or more), you can become an official Mandriva Mirror.

[edit] Space needed

The whole Mandriva repository weights about 700 GB, distributed between the development branch (/devel), the official branch (/official) and the old branch (/old). See MirrorStructure for more information.

  • 160 GB /devel
  • 400 GB /official
  • 128 GB /old

Of course you can choose to only mirror part of the structure. Preferably, mirror /official and /devel.

[edit] Rsync command

The following command will help you set up an initial full mirror.

rsync -auvH --partial --delete --exclude '.*' URL/ your-tree/MandrivaLinux/

There currently three official secondary mirrors - those that sync directly from the Mandriva primary mirror:

rsync url Location Link
carroll.cac.psu.edu::MandrivaLinux/ USA
distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr::mandrivalinux/ France see distrib-coffee
mandriva.c3sl.ufpr.br::MandrivaLinux/ Brazil

[edit] Mailing list

You are encouraged to subscribe to the 'mirror-list at mandrivalinux.com' mailing list. To subscribe to this list, send a 'subscribe' command to sympa at mandrivalinux.com

Once your mirror is set up, please send a mail to this mailing list to be included in the official Mandriva mirrors list.
