Mirroring LG

Q: What do I need to do to become an LG mirror maintainer or translator?

A: Step 1 Fill in the form just below, and send it to us at . This will result in your site being listed on our "Mirrors/Translators" page, and your name and email address being added to our (very low-traffic) "lg-mirrors" mailing list, where we can notify you of any changes that affect content retrieval and other mirror-relevant or translation-relevant issues.

Country (e.g., 'GB', 'FR', etc.): 
Language (for translators only): 
HTTP mirror: 
FTP mirror: 
Maintainer's name: 
Maintainer's email: 
Comments:

Step 2 (mirror maintainers only) Set up your monthly retrieval process. Our standard retrieval method is via rsync and FTP. Please set up your retrieval script as follows:

(For all of the following examples, HTTP_ROOT and FTP_ROOT are the directories on your host that you'll be making available via your HTTP/FTP servers. Note that our site's FTP_ROOT is a subdirectory immediately under HTTP_ROOT, so the first example will get both archives.)

# If you want the entire Linux Gazette archive:
rsync -azv linuxgazette.net::lg-all /HTTP_ROOT

# If you only want the HTTP files:
rsync -azv --exclude /ftpfiles/ linuxgazette.net::lg-all /HTTP_ROOT

# If you only want the FTP files:
rsync -azv linuxgazette.net::lg-ftp /FTP_ROOT

Step 3 If you wish to be notified whenever the new issue of LG comes out, send an email to or sign up at http://lists.linuxgazette.net/listinfo.cgi/lg-announce-linuxgazette.net .

In case of any further questions, please contact the LG Mirrors and Translations maintainer ().

Last but definitely not least - thank you for participating in LG! By mirroring us, you're making the content more easily available to the people in your country/area/location, and letting more readers have "just a little more fun" with Linux. You have our thanks... and the thanks of all those who trade in the basic coin of Open Source - respect.

Welcome aboard.
