NAME


fai-mirror - create and manage a partial mirror for FAI

SYNOPSIS


fai-mirror [OPTION]... DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION


This command creates a partial mirror of Debian packages. It can be used to create the fai
CD or as a local mirror when you can't download the whole Debian mirror. By default the
mirror will contain all packages of all classes used in the configuration space
(/srv/fai/config/package_config).

OPTIONS


-a ARCH
Download packages from architecture ARCH. If not specified, use native architecture
of host.

-B Do not add packages included in base.tar.xz and packages defined in
/etc/fai/NFSROOT to the mirror. By default all these packages are included in the
mirror. This will explicitly remove packages from the mirror that are already in
base.tar.xz.

-b Create the mirror only from packages names in /srv/fai/config. Do not include
packages from /etc/fai/NFSROOT, but also do not remove packages that are in
base.tar.xz. This is useful if your partitial mirror does not match the Linux
distribution of the nfsroot, or if you do not have a nfsroot yet.

-C CFDIR
Use CFDIR as the configuration directory. Default is /etc/fai. You can also set the
environment variable FAI_ETC_DIR.

-c CLASS[,CLASS]
Use only this list of classes for building the mirror. Can't be used in conjunction
with -x.

-h Show simple help and version.

-m MAX Set the number of packages to NUM. This overwrites the variable MAXPACKAGES.

-x CLASS[,CLASS]
Exclude these classes. Do not add the packages of these classes to the mirror.

-P FILE
Copy an APT preferences file into the cache config before creating the mirror.
Using this you can set pin priority for packages to a certain release.

-p Preserve existing sources.list. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.

-v Create verbose output.

EXAMPLES


# fai-mirror -v /files/scratch/mirror

Creates a partial mirror in the directory /files/scratch/mirror using all classes.

# fai-mirror -v -cDEFAULT,DEMO /debmirror

Creates a partial mirror containing all packages used in the classes DEFAULT and DEMO.

# fai-mirror -v -cDEFAULT,AMD64 /srv/debmirror-amd64

Will create a mirror including packages for amd64 architecture defined for classes DEFAULT
and AMD64. You can also run this on a non amd64 host.

NOTES


You only need root permissions if you access the official Debian mirror via NFS. By
default, the variable MAXPACKAGES is set to 1, so conflicting packages can also be added
to the mirror. Setting this to a higher number (e.g. 99999) reduces the time for creating
the mirror, but some packages may be missing.
