This software mirror is provided by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Tecnico Lisboa on a Gigabit uplink, accessible through both IPv4 and IPv6. We are happy to mirror additional software archives upon request, subject to space constraints on our mirror server. If there's a software archive for which a local mirror would be useful to you and it isn't listed here, please let us know.

Using a Mirror
Arch Linux
Edit the file /etc/pacman.conf and add the following line in the specified sections, according to your preference:
[core] Server = ftp://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/archlinux/core/os/x86_64 [extra] Server = ftp://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/archlinux/extra/os/x86_64 [community] Server = ftp://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/archlinux/community/os/x86_64
Refresh the package list from the new repository:
pacman -Syy
Debian GNU/Linux
Edit the list of sources:
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Here is a recommended /etc/apt/sources.list for Debian (stable release), using our mirror:
deb http://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/debian lenny main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/debian lenny main non-free contrib
Refresh the packages list from the new repository:
apt-get update
Gentoo Linux
Edit the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable in /etc/portage/make.conf:
GENTOO_MIRRORS="https://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/gentoo/gentoo-distfiles"
Then, replace sync-uri in repos.conf or create the /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf file if it does not exist:
[DEFAULT] main-repo = gentoo [gentoo] location = /var/db/repos/gentoo sync-type = rsync sync-uri = rsync://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/gentoo/gentoo-portage
Sabayon
Edit the file /etc/entropy/repositories.conf and add the following lines:
# Sabayon stable repository repository|sabayonlinux.org|Sabayon Linux Official repository|http://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/sabayon/entropy|http://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/sabayon/entropy#bz2 # Sabayon unstable repository overlay repository|sabayon-limbo|Sabayon Linux Limbo repository|http://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/sabayon/entropy|http://ftp.rnl.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/pub/sabayon/entropy#bz2
You may have to comment other entries (by placing a '#' in front of them) to force equo to use RNL's mirror only.
