Mirrors

For the website there is the regular site, and several web mirrors:

• The main site, www.nedit.org.
• The Netherlands, nl.nedit.org.
• Australia, au.nedit.org.

For downloading, please use the mirror closest to you. If you want to set up a mirror for NEdit, please read below.

Running a mirror

If you want to run a mirror for the nedit.org site, either web or ftp, please drop the webmaster (joor at users.sourceforge.net) a mail with the location.We can then add you to our list of mirrors.

Running a mirror of the website

Perhaps you want to run a mirror of the NEdit web site. You can do that by checking it out of cvs anonymously, and maintaining it by updating the checked out site through a cron job. The repository is the same as for the NEdit source code, but the project name is web. In a nutshell:

# check out the site
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.nedit.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nedit login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.nedit.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nedit co web

# update command, to be run inside the document root
cvs up

Be sure to read the documentation provided with the site material before you bring the site online.

Running a mirror of the FTP site

You are also welcome to maintain a mirror of the FTP archive, provided you follow a few basic guidelines:

• You should be really sure you need to be running a mirror. There are mirrors available on several continents with good bandwidth, which should be sufficient for most users.
• You should be doing incremental updates (only get the files that have actually changed), in stead of downloading the entire archive every time you update. Use ftp for mirroring, not http.
• The archive doesn't change very often, so there is no need for updates more frequent than, say, once every 24 hours.
• Please configure your FTP mirror script to send an email address as the password that someone actually reads. That way we can contact somebody in case of problems.
• Send the webmaster a mail before you set up your mirror, stating your intentions, and specifying the location of the mirror for addition to this page.

We reserve the right to block sites that do not observe these basic courtesies.
