Bug#524988: debmirror: man page enhancement/bandwidth limit
Moritz Molle
Version: 20070123
Severity: wishlist
Debmirror works for me (mirroring lenny and etch and squeeze), but the
manpage looks kinda outdated, and at first i got the impression, this
could be software soon to be deprecated.
I think, the newest debian-version mentioned in the manpage should not
be sarge, but squeeze or so, and what I really missed was a section
about return codes. (So I could run debmirror from a script).
And another enhancement, which i would like to see in the program is a
means to limit the bandwidth which it uses while mirroring.
Thanks!

$ apt-cache show trickle
Description: user-space bandwidth shaper
Trickle is a voluntary, cooperative bandwidth shaper. it works
entirely in userland and is very easy to use.
Works nicely for me.
