slacklite mirror version 0.2

Category: documentation, scriptsben @ 9:54 pm

currently its at 0.2 and will undergo a complete overhaul to run with the aliens slackware mirror script as its base. its very primitive right now and requires manual checking of the changlog to know if it should be run. it also assumes a few directory paths that are documented in the readme, and assumes s local slackware mirror is available (also documented but untested change in readme that would not require a local mirror - involves changing one rsync command

all that being said it does seem to work and be downloaded from here: slacklite-mirror-0.2.tar.gz
