Mirroring the TinyCoreLinux repository
mat128:
Hey guys,
First off, thanks for your excellent work on TinyCoreLinux, it has been very helpful for us.
I was wondering how we could mirror the repository? I could not find any official docs on that topic, other than the mirror list itself on the wiki.
Thank you,
Mathieu

Mirroring is not encouraged due to bandwidth issues.

rsync doesn't use much, just the first full copy does (the entire tree is over 108gb!). So if you want to mirror things, please do the first copy from a mirror near you instead of tinycorelinux.net, then keep it up to date with rsync from the main mirror. Recursive wget works fine for the first copy.
To save your space, you can avoid copying older versions, etc. Look up wget and rsync man pages on how to do that.

I'd be happy just to mirror the version I'm using, which I hope is less than 108 gigs. Then I could be hitting that instead of ibiblio.net all the time. The other architectures won't do me any good. I didn't know rsync was an option. I wouldn't want to update very often. What would that URL be?
curaga:
This is what I use to sync everything:
--- Code: ---rsync -av --delete repo.tinycorelinux.net::tc /path/to/dest
--- End code ---
