To set up Ubuntu sync apt-get with on-campus mirrors, see the [[Ubuntu]] distribution guide.

To set up emerge on Gentoo to use on-campus mirrors, see the [[Gentoo]] distribution guide.
 
==OpenBSD==
 
To use the ECE mirror for the OpenBSD packages manager:
 
<pre>
 
$ export PKG_PATH=http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/pub/OpenBSD/<version>/packages/`machine -a`/
 
</pre>
 
where <version> is the version you are running. See [http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html OpenBSD FAQ section 15 for more information]. Note that not all architectures with the install sets on the ECE mirror also have corresponding packages there.

GNU/Linux and BSD Mirrors on Campus

Virginia Tech hosts mirrors for several distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, and Gentoo.

CS

The Computer Science Department (CS) runs mirrors at https://mirror.cs.vt.edu/. It has

  • Arch
  • Rocky
  • Cygwin
  • Slackware
  • EPEL (an additional package repository for Enterprise Linux distros [1]

VTTI

VTTI currently hosts a mirror with many distro and software repositories, and IPv6-accessable Ubuntu PPAs

(User:Telnoratti seems to run this now.)

It has OS dists for for:

  • Alma
  • Arch
  • CentOS
  • Debian
  • Fedora
  • FreeBSD
  • IPFire
  • OpenBSD
  • OpenSUSE
  • Raspbian
  • Ubuntu

as well as software repos for

  • CPAN
  • CRAN
  • EPEL
  • ROS

ECE

The Electrical and Computer Department mirror at http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/ has been down for quite some time now. Depending on the attitudes of the current ECE IT regime, running it could possibly be a VTLUUG project.
