To use the ECE mirror for the OpenBSD packages manager:

$ 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
