Hi all,
First time porter, thought this seemed like something simple to get my
feet wet but I immediately ran into a few questions.
I wanted to set up a local Ubuntu repository mirror on my network, using
an OpenBSD machine. apt-mirror is the tool for this, it's basically a
perl script that uses wget.
https://github.com/apt-mirror/apt-mirror
Firstly, is this worth having a port? It's simple enough to just install
as-is if someone wants it.
The man page implies an "apt-mirror" user would normally run this via
cron to keep the mirror updated. Is it normal to create a new user and
group for something that isn't a daemon? It's a script any user can run.
I'll submit my port for review after adapting based on any feedback.
Thanks,
Allan
