When installing a Debian repository server as noted here, https://sites.google.com/a/glendaleacademy.org/techblog/ubuntu-12-04/pxe-netboot-repository-server, there are a few issues with the use of apt-mirror for Debian repository servers.
- As of this writing, apt-mirror does not download the translation files. To fix this, write a script to download the necessary files, adjusting the paths as necessary:
- Debian mirror fix for apt-mirror
- #!/bin/bash
- #
- #This script fixes the translation download issue for debian mirrors
- cd /var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror/mirror.anl.gov/debian/dists/wheezy
- for directory in contrib main non-free; do
- cd $directory
- rm -rf i18n
- mkdir i18n
- cd i18n
- wget http://mirror.anl.gov/debian/dists/wheezy/$directory/i18n/Translation-en.bz2
- cd ../../
- done
- cd /var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror/mirror.anl.gov/debian/dists/wheezy-updates
- for directory in contrib main non-free; do
- cd $directory
- rm -rf i18n
- mkdir i18n
- cd i18n
- wget http://mirror.anl.gov/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/$directory/i18n/Translation-en.bz2
- cd ../../
- done
- The security updates are only available through security.debian.org, so a separate entry in mirror.list and sources.list are necessary.
