You know the mirrors of the kernel source, the GNU tools, etc? It's like that.Typically, a mirror distributes bandwidth usage or moves bandwidth usageonto a more capable line. It can also serve the purpose of making all or some of an archivepublicly available, by mirroring out to a reachable host (as opposed to,say, a home computer on a modem with no hostname).
This last point I completely understand.I'd like to be able to do some offline development. I guess the problem is not an easy. I suppose the best thing to do there is create a local archive an do an import, then create a patch and all that.
