Hi
Does anyone have a sample configuration file to setup a repository for Ubuntu, to use with mrepo?

mrepo is for rpm based distributions as it builds yum/apt *rpm* repositories.
No idea how you got the idea one could use it for deb based distributions.

Well, I was under the impressions it really just mirrored the upstream repository? I'm trying to have a .deb repository on my LAN, and would like to have it on my CentOS server, and the info on the Ubuntu forums looks like it's meant to run on a Ubuntu machine only. So, I was hoping someone has done this already?

We run debmirror and debmirrorx on our ubuntu/debian mirror - which is on CentOS. Those are just perl scripts, so they can run on CentOS.

Cool, so can you specify which repositories to mirror with it, like with mrepo? Cause I don't want to mirror the whole ubuntu repo - bandwidth is limited

It's in the mail that was distributed to the list.

Yes. I don't have syntax and configuration handy (cannot reach the mirror from here), but it is doable with debmirror.
