ROOT=ubuntu

# What's your method to use mirroring? you can use http, ftp, hftp, rsync method
METHOD=http

# let's discuss about release ubuntu, ubuntu have code name release like wathy, breezy, dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy, intrepid
# in this case you can mirroring release ubuntu more than one release, or you can mirroring update package, security package, proposed package
# ex: $release-security so you can type hardy,hardy-updates,hardy-security,hardy-backports,hardy-proposed
RELEASE=hardy,hardy-updates,hardy-security,hardy-backports,hardy-proposed,intrepid,intrepid-updates,intrepid-security,intrepid-backports,intrepid-proposed

# section, hm... no more information here :D

SECTION=main,restricted,universe,multiverse,main/debian-installer,restricted/debian-installer,universe/debian-installer,multiverse/debian-installer

# architecture... hm.. what architecture fo you want to mirroring? i386 (32bit), amd64 (64bit, include IA64), sparc or powerpc?
ARCHITECTURE=i386,amd64 #just it?

# and if you don't want to remove previous repositories you can add --nocleanup option
# if you get error messages about gpg files maybe you forget to add gpg ubuntu archive as trusted keys :D
# gpg --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg --export | gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring trustedkeys.gpg --import
