NAME

       runmirrors - Trigger downstream mirrors

SYNOPSIS

       runmirrors

DESCRIPTION

       runmirrors  is part of the ftpsync suite for mirroring Debian and Debian-like repositories
       of packages.  As there are way too many mirrors of Debian to populate them  all  from  the
       machine  that generates the archive ("ftp-master"), mirrors are organized in a tree-shaped
       hierarchy.  Thus, every mirror has exactly one upstream from  which  it  syncs,  and  each
       mirror can have any number of downstreams which in turn sync from it.
