LinuxQuestions.org - Using rsync to make your own Slackware mirror

I have more than one machine with Slackware. So it make sense having a mirror of slackware on my machine. I will share the scripts with you. Enjoy!

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# $Id: rsync_current.sh,v 1.4 2005/09/11 14:13:23 root Exp root $

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Use rsync to mirror a Slackware directory tree.

# The default is to make a mirror of slackware-current, but you can alter that

# by running the script like this:

#

#  VERSION=10.1 rsync_current.sh

#

# ...which will mirror Slackware-10.1 instead.

# Also, all the parameters that you pass this script will be appended to the

# rsync command line, so if you want to do a 'dry-run', i.e. want to look at

# what the rsync would do without actually downloading/deleting anything, add

# the '-n' parameter to the script like this:

#

#  rsync_current.sh -n

VERSION=${VERSION:-current}

TOPDIR="/home/kerml/backup/slackware/"

RSYNCURL="rsync://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/pub/slackware"



echo "Syncing version '$VERSION' ..."



if [ ! -d ${TOPDIR}/slackware64-$VERSION ]; then

  echo "Target directory ${TOPDIR}/slackware64-$VERSION does not exist!"

  exit 1

fi



cd ${TOPDIR}/slackware64-$VERSION

rsync $1 -vaz --delete  ${RSYNCURL}/slackware64-$VERSION/ .
