[indiana-discuss] OpenSolaris mirroring of ISO images

[Glynn Foster]

Hey there,

If you like to mirror the OpenSolaris ISO images, or know of someone  
running a download mirror locally, here is the command you'll likely  
to need -

  rsync -avz pkg.opensolaris.org::osol_release_isos .

The total image is about 14 GB so far (which includes 2008.05, and the  
various images related to 2008.11). We're somewhat restricted to 4  
concurrent connections at the moment - but will bump if there's large  
demand. We'd love to see a whole bunch of download mirrors starting to  
spawn up around the world, so feel free to forward on to your  
contacts. [1]

thanks!

Glynn
