The ftpsync script from the Debian archive mirror page is used to mirror the packages from the ftp.at.debian.org and security.debian.org archives.
The script shows some errors on OmniOS due to differences in options to the hostname command.
OmniOS
OmniOS – an Illumos distro
OmniOS lipkg zone as debian package mirror
My private Debian package mirror was a Debian 8 virtual machine with the storage provided by an OmniOS fileserver and exported as a nfs share.
The goal is to move the whole mirror into a zone on the fileserver. The debian ftpsync mirror script is a bash script and should also run on OmniOS.
Git prompt…
I was thinking about how to synchronize my home dirs and ended up having them now under revision control with git.
The blog post Don’t Reinvent the Wheel describes how to make use of the git provided script git-sh-prompt and replace the default PS1 with a PROMPT_COMMAND.
