Cygwin is used extensively within my school's physics department,
and I'd like to set up a local mirror for packages. I assume this
entails writing a bash script which downloads all of the source
packages from an official repository. The script is then run at
regular (ie crontab scheduled) intervals. Could anyone provide me
with more information on this task (ie where to download from, how
often repositories change, how much space will be required, etc)?
