Comment 4 for bug 1311855

reprepro is an other mirroring tool I use.

I prefer it over apt-mirror as apt-mirror creates a whole bunch of folders based on the mirror URL:
/var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror/us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

This wasn't what we needed.

Example of a reprepro configuration:

# /srv/mirrors/ubuntu/conf/distributions
Codename: precise
Description: Ubuntu Precise
Architectures: amd64 i386 source
Components: main restricted universe multiverse
Update: ubuntu-precise

# /srv/mirrors/ubuntu/conf/updates
Name: ubuntu-precise
#VerifyRelease: <mirror-key-here>
Method: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
Suite: precise
Components: main restricted universe multiverse
Architectures: amd64 i386 source

To initialize the mirror directory structure:

    reprepro -b /srv/mirrors/ubuntu -V export

To start the mirror update process:

    reprepro -b /srv/mirrors/ubuntu -V update precise

Unfortunately, we don't use a puppet module (yet) for that one.
