All,
There are instructions on CentOS.org concerning how to become a mirror. Those instructions are for _NEW_ mirrors only. (And for mirroring CentOS only via the new mirror). If you want to do that, the instructions are here: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=22
We are currently working out a plan to split cAos and CentOS mirrors, so if you have an existing CentOS mirror (or cAos mirror), you should continue to use your current mirror method until the detailed plan (and instructions) are put in place and mailed to this list. You will then be able to split the process into a cAos and CentOS mirroring process and pick one, the other, or both to mirror.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
Is there any requirement on where to place the centos directory, so that it is consistent across all centos mirrors? eg. /pub/centos
Is there a requirement to mirror ALL of centos, including the rather old 2.1 (which incidentally is a symlink pointing outside of the centos directory and apparently only makes sense if you're also mirror cAos)?
I've been mirroring CentOS only for some time. Available at ftp://mirror.averse.net/pub/centos http://mirror.averse.net/centos rsync://mirror.averse.net/centos
Any particular reason why the rsyncd module is called CentOS rather than centos, when the directory itself is called centos? rsyncd.conf seems to refuse to allow both capitalizations at the same time.

No - because different mirrors have different setups. As long as the centos directory is accessible via the published urls.

No - and that 2.1 link will be fixed - thansk for pointing it out.

Thanks - do you want it listing ?? If so what bandwidth do you have ??

No - just CentOS is the name if the distro - it is anticipated that boith would be configured on the mirrors but they havent been done yet.

Sure. It's currently a 100Mbps connection in Singapore, Asia.

I tried to configure both CentOS and centos modules in rsyncd.conf, but when I tried connecting as a client, it refused to server the latter module... Maybe I'm doing something wrong there.

No - I found the same - weird .
Afraid we are stuck with CentOS ...
