The Unix Archive can also be accessed via an rsync server on www.tuhs.org. See the rsync web page for details on how to obtain a client.
The rsync access is divided into a number of categories in order to ease the load on the Unix Archive server. The categories are:
Name | Holds | Size (Megs) |
UA_Root | root files | 5M |
UA_Applications | Applications directory | 270M |
UA_Distributions | Distributions directory | 1.7G |
UA_Documentation | Documentation directory | 880M |
UA_Tools | Tools/Trees directory | 20M |
You can use rsync to mirror each section. To mirror the complete archive, you would issue the following commands:
mkdir Applications Distributions Documentation Tools rsync -avz www.tuhs.org::UA_Root . rsync -avz www.tuhs.org::UA_Applications Applications rsync -avz www.tuhs.org::UA_Distributions Distributions rsync -avz www.tuhs.org::UA_Documentation Documentation rsync -avz www.tuhs.org::UA_Tools Tools
