 Linux Documentation Project Mirrors 


The following sites mirror the LDP pages, please use the site nearest to you. DAILY means mirrored daily, DAILY*N means mirrored every N days, WEEKLY/N means mirrored N times a week, and so on.

If you are using a mirror site the date on the main page should be within a week of today's date. If the date is not within a week, please check the master site or the master timestamp. If the mirror is out of date, please email gferg@sgi.com with the location of the outdated mirror.

NOTE : If you currently maintain a LDP mirror site, or would like to become a mirror site for the LDP, please see the Mirroring Information found at the bottom of this document.

Mirroring Information

The master LDP pages are at http://www.linuxdoc.org/. If you maintain a LDP mirror, or would like to maintain a LDP mirror, please email gferg@sgi.com with the following information:

  1. URL of the mirror. We recommend naming the mirror directory "LDP". For example, one such mirror is at http://oss.sgi.com/LDP/.

  2. Name and email address of the person maintaining the mirror.

  3. How frequently the mirror is updated. We recommend mirroring daily or every other day. Mirroring weekly is less desirable, but still OK. Anything longer than a week is too long.

  4. Location of the mirror. Please tell us the city, state (if applicable) and country.

You will need approximately 150MB of disk space. Once we have your mirror information, you will receive the LDP mirror login and password. We recommend mirroring using rsync (preferred) or the mirror package (which mirrors using FTP).

Please be aware that you are responsible for the mirroring process itself. With the number of requests we receive we cannot possibly assist every single individual/site. If for some reason the status of your mirrored location changes, please contact gferg@sgi.com so that this list can remain as accurate and up-to-date as possible. Thanks.


Outdated / Inaccessible Mirror Sites

Please try to keep your mirror site up-to-date. If the site becomes outdated or there is a problem accessing it, you will be contacted. If the problem is not corrected in a timely fashion, you will be removed from this list. If you have been removed and think this is in error, please contact gferg@sgi.com. Explain the circumstances and list the site (location, maintainer, etc.) that was removed. You will be promptly added back to the list.

We appreciate your understanding in this matter!


Special Note

PROBLEM:

If you currently use the package 'mirror' or a similar ftp-based package to mirror the master LDP site (found at metalab.unc.edu, formerly sunsite.unc.edu), you may encounter the following error: 

    package=LDP metalab.unc.edu:LDP -> <local_directory>
    Failure at end of remote directory () because: timed out
    Cannot get remote directory details (LDP)
This is due to a upgrade done to the ftp software on the master site which *may* cause 'mirror' and other ftp-based mirroring packages to fail. The upgrade was done for security purposes.

SOLUTION:

We apologize for this inconvenience. Further details can be found at: http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/ftp-archive/mirror/.

If you are using mirror, a patch has been made available, which needs to be applied to the file ftp.pl. The patch can be accessed from: http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/ftp-archive/mirror/ftp.pl_wupatch,
or you can grab a fully-patched ftp.pl (for mirror 2.9) here:
http://metalab.unc.edu/gferg/patch/ftp.pl.gz
