[00:50] <thinkndev> do motu members create as many packages for the stable release as they do the development release?
[12:31] <Quintasan> Hello.
[15:23] <Laney> urgh
[15:23] <Laney> so if you try to debmirror the main archive and ports into the same directory then the second run deletes files from the first
[15:23]  * Laney re-downloads 40G
[16:33] <maxb> Laney: Been (almost) there, done (almost) that, attempting to mirror from both archive.debian.org and ftp.xx.debian.org into the same directory. Unfortunately debmirror itself appears to be a mostly impenetrable blob of Perl, and I've not found any nicer replacements.
[16:36] <Laney> maxb: I found a script that can do the cleaning up afterwards. So if I turn off debmirror's cleaning and use this instead it should hopefully work …
[16:37] <maxb> Hm, I recall writing one of those myself :-)
[16:37] <Laney> https://code.google.com/p/debmarshal/source/browse/trunk/repository2/pooldebclean/pooldebclean.pl
[16:37] <Laney> stupid ports/archive separation.
[16:38] <maxb> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1093467/
[16:42] <Laney> neat
[16:43] <maxb> Mostly I prefer approx or similar caching proxy software now rather than straight mirroring now; there's soo much highly specialized stuff in the archive that I just know I'll never access
[16:43] <maxb> Though debmirror is certainly a lot easier to deploy
[16:44] <Laney> I'm mirroring onto a USB drive, for those offline times
[16:44] <Laney> presiously was using apt-cacher-ng
