User mirroring of the repo.
beerstein:
Do I understand that correctly?
We could the personal sub-repo automatically synchronize with the ibiblio repo?
I have another question: If I run that sub-part-repo on my home server (lighttpd) are the
dependencies installed also? Is there extra coding work necessary for that?
thanks

Yeah, I think you understand this correctly. No extra work necessary.
On your normal pc you could use tce-cache instaed of tce-load, so that your cache/mirror will serve that same version to all other clients afterwards.
You could of course just ssh into your mirror and then use tce-load just as usual, but I often look at e.g. .info files, so I'd want to change tce-load to also download them.
khamara:
it shouldn't be hard to write a perl script for an Apache Web Server. I wrote a caching proxy server in perl a millenia ago, it can be reused here.
The idea:
1) have a directory on the web server containing the tcz files
2) 'offer' what's available from the main TC site
3) if the local server does not have the file, download from the main server, stream to the client and store for future downloads
4)it should also check for updates before offering any files
I am tempted to dig up that old code but I usually just copy files across my thumb drives. Unfortunately usb copies are not reliable for large files especially on windows and I have to do a 'sum' to make sure.

Sounds really useful, how about turning it in to an extension for the repository?
beerstein:
Hi: I am glad you came up with this new post.
I am trying to do this for month. Could you please post your script and some more detailed infp?
An extension would be even better.
Thank you
