Re: [Wp-mirror-list] [Xmldatadumps-l] ftpmirror.your.org - IPv4 and IPv6 give different results (fwd)

[wp mirror]

Dear Guy,

Thanks for your input on curl vs. wget.

1) Redirect

I have decided to stay with curl for now.  As per your suggestion,
wp-mirror now invokes curl with the `--location' option in order to
follow the redirect.  The updated wp-mirror runs correctly on my
platform.

2) Update wp-mirror

Please download and install wp-mirror to get the update.

(shell)$ wget 
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/wp-mirror/wp-mirror_0.6-1_all.deb
(shell)$ sha1sum wp-mirror_0.6-1_all.deb
3c63016c90e6f57c95cc5d20a3001d57f7617728  wp-mirror_0.6-1_all.deb
(root-shell)# dpkg --install wp-mirror_0.6-1_all.deb
(root-shell)# wp-mirror --mirror

Note that mirrors of <http://download.savannah.gnu.org> can take a few
hours to sync.  So you may wish to verify the downloaded package with
`sha1sum'.

Sincerely Yours,
Kent
