Most of our Slackware mirrors with dep support are using the default german mirror as package source, which imho is a bad idea.
Perhaps the finnish and english mirrors could change to their local slackware mirrors? Therefore only the deps dir should be rsynced and the adddepinfo script should be run as cron. See the USA mirror (hosted by laprjns) as example

Re: Our Slackware mirrors with dep support...
Although this is rather obvious to me now, I was not rsync'ing my /deps directories. At the recommendation by thenktor in #salix, I've changed my adddepinfo.sh to add the following rsync line:thenktor wrote: Therefore only the deps dir should be rsynced ......
Code: Select all
SLACKREPO="ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/slackware-13.0/"
CWD=`pwd`
DEPSDIR="$CWD/deps"
rsync -av --delete salix.enialis.net::salix/i486/slackware-13.0/deps/ deps/

Just remembering: deps are the same for i486 an x86_64, so this is not neededlaprjns wrote:This is for my 32 bit repos. I made a similar change to the addepinfo scrip in my 64 bit repos, just changing the path from .../i486 /... to .../x86_64/...

Is download.salixos.org in Germany or in France? It is not exactly clear according to the download page in wiki .
This is the oppinion of the author, it does not force you to share and is signed automatically.

Re: Our Slackware mirrors with dep support...
The repo is in France, but Slackware packages are downloaded from a server in Germany.

Re: Our Slackware mirrors with dep support...
It would be awesome if we could have a mirror added at OSUOSL. It's already a pretty major slack and Vector site.

Add the USA Slackware mirror from http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php?title=Download and remove the European one. Don't remove the preferred Salix mirror!

Re: Our Slackware mirrors with dep support...
hi thenktor, thanks for the answer
on a side note have to mention that the slackware.org.uk mirrors appear to be down
so all their links on the download page are broken

Re: Our Slackware mirrors with dep support...
http access to slackware.org.uk doesn't work. I think ftp access was working for a while, but maybe it's down again. They had hardware problems with their server and they're still trying to get things back to normal.
