lmirror 0.0.2 released

Written for lmirror by Robert Collins on 2010-04-05

I'm happy to announce lmirror 0.0.2.

lmirror 0.0.2 adds mtime support, which is helpful for mirrors that are then served over http for e.g. apt-get/yum etc, and also a built in HTTP server using python-paste. This server allows streaming updates, eliminating the round-trip per file overhead incurred without it.

This release should be considered late-alpha quality: it has no show stopper bugs that I know of, but there are plenty of things still to be done to make sure mirrors using it can be analyzed/examined/maintained painlessly.

lmirror 0.0.1 released

Written for lmirror by Robert Collins on 2010-03-29

LMirror 0.0.1 is released! This technology preview supports many of the key, core features, such as multiple mirror sets in the same tree, extremely low work synchronisation (but only hugely fast in LAN's as yet - HTTP pipelining and concurrent fetching is not implemented yet) and GPG signing of journals. As such its complete enough to permit evaluation and trial deployments, and to iteratively improve from here. So I'm releasing it! Yay!
