A GNU Arch Handbook

3.3 Keeping a Mirror Up to Date

(prev) (next chapter)

Initially, your local mirror is empty and the remote archive is not. Compare the outputs of:

    % tla abrowse lord@emf.net--2005
    % tla abrowse lord@emf.net--2005-SOURCE
    [...]

Your mirror is "out of date". Fix it this way:

    % tla archive-mirror lord@emf.net--2005

and see the results:

    % tla abrowse lord@emf.net--2005
    [...]

If tomorrow, you re-run the same archive-mirror command, just the newly modified parts of the archive will be copied to your mirror. In other words, archive-mirror does a kind of "incremental update".

Commands Discussed

     % tla abrowse -H
     % tla archive-mirror -H
