Re: Using a real mirroring tool...

[Charles Wilson <cwilson at ece dot gatech dot edu>]

Actually, this is a better set of options: we don't need to preserve 
owner, groups, or devices, and the modify-window helps with the limited 
timestamp granularity of the FAT filesystem.  Remember to fix LOCALDIR 
and remove --dry-run.

---------------------
#!/bin/sh
MIRROR=rsync://archive.progeny.com/cygwin
LOCALDIR=/annex1/private/software/cygwin/
OPTS="-rlptzu --modify-window=2"
EXTRAOPTS="--delete -vv --dry-run"
RSYNC=/usr/bin/rsync

${RSYNC} ${OPTS} ${EXTRAOPTS} ${MIRROR}/release ${LOCALDIR}
${RSYNC} ${OPTS} ${EXTRAOPTS} ${MIRROR}/setup.* ${LOCALDIR}
---------------------
