I was just tweaking some settings on the mirror server I maintain, and it occurred to me that I hadn’t posted about this before.
I’ve set up a UK2 software mirrors server, mirroring several projects:
- CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network
Via: HTTP and FTP
(To use from CPAN.pm, use the following commands in the CPAN shell:)> o conf urllist unshift ftp://mirrors.uk2.net/pub/CPAN/ > o conf commit
- Linux Kernel Archives from kernel.org:
HTTP: /pub/linux and /pub/software
FTP: /pub/linux and /pub/software. -
Slackware Linux (latest version and slackware-current):
Via HTTP and FTP -
Arch Linux:
Via HTTP and FTPTo use, add the following to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Server = ftp://mirrors.uk2.net/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
(If you have a 64 bit system, replace i686 with x86_64)
Obviously, the server and bandwidth are kindly provided by UK2.NET - it’s nice for us to be able to give something back to the Open Source community, since we use quite a lot of Open Source software.
