This document describe the way to do a Mageia Mirror.

1) Prerequise

The expect size is around 700GB.

You need rsync software to synchronise the tree.

2) Official source

If you plan to create a public we encourage you to use one our Tier1 mirror.

This servers synchronise the tree directly from the Mageia rsync server.

    o rsync://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/mageia/
      located in Paris (France)

3) Rsync options

Ensure you're using a least this options:

    -a -H

We apreciate if theses options are also used:

   --delete-after -S

Don't use compression and checksum option, they will overload the remote
server

4) Automate

The tree must be synchronize at least every 2 hours.

Please ensure another rsync process is not started while first one is
still running. Use a lock file.

5) Registering your mirror
