No, indeed, the current build scripts won't always generate the same packages: it depends on when they're run. > Anyway, I still think rsync is the best way to mirror. Agreed.

I'm sure it's not too complicated, but if someone can provide me the typical steps and a sample config file (on a Debian machine) it would probably nudge me towards doing it more quickly. Stefan
