Becoming a mirror of Cygwin

Becoming a mirror of Cygwin

[mirror]

Hi,

I'm a system administrator of FPT Telecom - one of the largest ISP in 
Vietnam. I'm being responsible for becoming a mirror of community sites.

I have a question:
How does our site become a mirror of Cygwin?

Looking forward your feedbacks.

Thanks & Best regards,
mirror@fpt.net

That's right.

Remember that sending email there just will get you added to the list.
We (i.e., I) don't advise you in *how* to do this but setting up an
rsync mirror should be fairly straightforward.

... and one way of doing it is documented (in the section "Creating a local
Cygwin mirror with rsync") at

  http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-server.html

Hmm.  That page tells people to rsync from a mirror.  I don't see any
reason to do that when you can use rsync from cygwin.com directly.

Was that just to save on sourceware.org bandwidth?  If so, I don't think
this is an issue anymore.
