[tex-live] Problems mirroring texlive repository

[Lars Madsen]

Usually I start by getting the mirror by rsyncing a mirror that supports rsync.

Then explicitly telling tlmgr to use the appropriate tlnet url is enough.

So

tlmgr - -repository http://mylocalmirrorontheweb/tlnet/ other-options

Ought to work (if I got the repository syntax right)

Subject: [tex-live] Problems mirroring texlive repository

Due to restrictions regarding the required proxy for some of out servers
I tried to mirror the texlive distribution to be able to run "tlmgr
update" via this mirror. I configured tlmgr to use this mirror, but I
get an error message, I can not make sense of:

$>tlmgr update --all -v

OK, it seems texlive.tlpdb.xz and texlive.tlpdb are corrupt, but

$>curl -s http://texlivemirror/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb|head -1
name 00texlive.config
$>curl -s http://texlivemirror/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.xz|xzcat|head -1
name 00texlive.config
$>wget -o /dev/null -O - http://texlivemirror/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb|head -1
name 00texlive.config
$>wget -o /dev/null -O -
http://texlivemirror/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.xz|xzcat|head -1
name 00texlive.config
$>

seem to say otherwise. Is there anything I can do to make my mirror
working?

Thanks
Berthold
