Arch Mirrors Layout

erick.red · 2011-04-13 13:16:32

Hi:

I'm trying to set up a mirror of your server in order to provide arch pakages to my community and I have a question.
Since I saw this mail list message I thought there's no reason for having a folder named 'any' under every repo folder.
Is there any hidden reason for this or it is just cause not every package has migrated to the new layout yet ?

Thxs.

not all packages have been migrated. like i side note, you shouldn't create the layout manually. rsync does that automatically for you.

is not possible because repos directory contain now only symlinks to packages from pool directory.

Yeah, I know, I would mirror the folders corel,extra,community and pool so I can get the repos with the links and the actual packages.

Second question:
I was looking at the Developers New Mirror wiki page and I want to know if the 2-tier mirror could be accessed by rsync ?

sure, a lot of them offer rsync.

I want to know something.
When package a-25.pkg.tar.gz is in testing is uploaded to pool/packages right ?
Now when the same version of the package is moved to core, the package is not re-uploaded, just the link moved eh ?
Am I right ?

in pool/packages are uploaded packages from core/extra/testing/gnome-unstable/kde-unstable/staging and in pool/community the rest.

Now when the same version of the package is moved to core, the package is not re-uploaded, just the link moved eh ?

you are correct. that was the whole point of implementing a pool directory. mirrors sync the actually package once and on move, they sync only the symlinks
