You need some scripts from Colin.  The version I have is a bit stale according
to him but I'm too busy to get an update from him :-)

To set up your own site, first set up a directory that is designated for the
mirror (which should be exposed through a Web server, e.g. lighttpd or Apache,
etc), and a temp directory.

You need to run "portsnap-initwww.sh" in the mirror directory, which will
create directories that is necessary for the mirror;

Then, hack the "portsnap-mirror.sh" to teach it about the directories.  Set
up a crontab item for it, like this:

=================
# Update portsnap
29,59   *       *       *       *       www     lockf -t 0 /hosting/portsnap.geekcn.org/mirrortmp/lockfile /hosting/portsnap.geekcn.org/scripts/portsnap-mirror.sh
=================

Also you will want to run portsnap-cleanup.sh periodically.

I can send the old scripts to you, though please ask Colin for the new ones
before trying the last resort :-)

Committed, thanks.
