Instructions for being listed as a Linux Gazette Mirror ======================================================= Last updated: Sat Mar 19 11:57:54 EDT 2011 Step 1. This is a vital step: we need you to respond in order for you to be listed as a Linux Gazette mirror site on our "Mirrors" page. Please fill in the form just below, and send it to ; this will create an entry for your site on our "mirrors" page and add you to the "lg-mirrors" (very low traffic) list. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language: Country: HTTP mirror: FTP mirror: Maintainer's name: Maintainer's email: Comments: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Step 2. The preferred content retrieval method is via 'rsync'. Please set up your retrieval script as follows: (For all of the following examples, HTTP_ROOT and FTP_ROOT are the directories on your host that you'll be making available via your HTTP/FTP servers. Note that our site's FTP_ROOT is a subdirectory immediately under HTTP_ROOT, so the first example will get both archives.) # If you want the entire Linux Gazette archive: rsync -azv linuxgazette.net::lg-all /HTTP_ROOT # Exclude FTP files rsync -azv --exclude /ftpfiles/ linuxgazette.net::lg-all /HTTP_ROOT # Only FTP files rsync -azv linuxgazette.net::lg-ftp /FTP_ROOT Step 3. (optional) If you wish to be notified whenever a new issue of LG comes out, send an email to . Last but definitely not least - thank you for participating in LG! By mirroring us, you're making the content more easily available to the people in your country/area/location, and letting more readers have "just a little more fun" with Linux. You have our thanks... and the thanks of all those who trade in the basic coin of Open Source - respect. Welcome aboard. -- * Ben Okopnik * Editor-in-Chief, Linux Gazette * http://LinuxGazette.NET *
