provide rsync for mirroring

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 4 comments

Is it possible to provide access via rsync for mirroring the repository?
If not, is it possible to create a lastupdate file?

I am not sure if it easy to enable rsync for pkgbuild.com user repos.

Thus I added lastupdate file to the it repo. The file is located here https://pkgbuild.com/~anatolik/quarry/ please take a look and let me know if it works for you.

I am not familiar with mirroring rules so maybe you can help me to clarify it. What is required location for lastupdate file? Could it be located in the same directory as repo index *.db file i.e. here https://pkgbuild.com/~anatolik/quarry/x86_64/

AFAIK there are no rules.
However, usually it's at the topmost directory that makes sense, e.g. https://pkgbuild.com/~anatolik if you only host quarry (or the lastupdate file is meant for all subdirectories) or https://pkgbuild.com/~anatolik/quarry if you host anything else in the former directory.
