[platform-update-dev] rsync or update manager?

["Daffin, Miles (IT)" <Miles.Daffin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

There seems to be some disagreement about the best/easiest way to create
an update site mirror. Can anyone tell me what the recommended way of
doing this is? Should we use rsync or the update manager from the
command line?

Many thanks,

Miles

rsync us by far the best method for both of us.  It will only transfer
the diffs. If you'd like an internal mirror, simply fill out the form at
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/mir_request.php (add [INTERNAL] to the
organization name, and we'll set you up.
