New mirror stuff

Anybody that wants to test out some new stuff we're doing on
mirror.nblug.org is welcome to try it out all you want.

We've got Debian testing (i386 and main, only; no non-free, contrib, non-US;
no other architectures)
Put this in your /etc/apt/sources.list and chew on it:
deb http://mirror.nblug.org/debian/ testing main
or
deb ftp://mirror.nblug.org/debian/ testing main

You should also be able to point at that during your install to get all the
packages.

We've also got repositories set up for the cool new apt-rpm stuff that now
exists.  It's building the apt-repositories off of our existing material, so
any directory on our mirror site that's full of RPMs could have one of these
built if it's requested.

You can go to http://apt.freshrpms.net/ to get the software.

Take your pick of lines for /etc/apt/sources.list (hopefully it's obvious
which one you want...):

rpm http://mirror.nblug.org/redhat/apt redhat-7.2-i386/redhat os
rpm http://mirror.nblug.org/redhat/apt redhat-updates-7.2/redhat os
# rpm ftp://mirror.nblug.org/pub/apt-rpm redhat-7.2-i386/redhat os
# rpm ftp://mirror.nblug.org/pub/apt-rpm redhat-updates-7.2/redhat os

rpm http://mirror.nblug.org/redhat/apt redhat-updates-6.2

rpm http://mirror.nblug.org/redhat/apt redhat-7.3-i386/redhat os

rpm http://mirror.nblug.org/redhat/apt redhat-updates-7.3/redhat os

If anybody wants to use this stuff for RedHat 7.0, 7.1, an architecture
other than i386, etc; just ask me.  We've got updates for ia64 and s390
already on there, I just need to point at them.  I could even set up an
apt-rpm repository for the Ximian mirror stuff we've got, if somebody thinks
that'd be useful for them.
