SYNOPSIS
simba [-c|--config <configuration file] [--callbacks|-p] [--help|-h]
[mirror_name]
PREREQUISITES
simba requires RoPkg::Simba
DESCRIPTION
There are many institutions that offer mirroring services to the
community. Most of them use shell scripts to synchronize content with
the master servers. This approach has some major limitations:
Difficult maintenance
No useful reports
No data presented to the final user
and more
Simba was created to be the mirroring tool and to get more control over
the mirrored content and (most important) more control over the reports
you can generate using the mirrored content data. Using Simba, you can:
Create web pages with mirrors status
Create web pages with mirror details
Generate RSS feeds
Generate Google sitemaps
Generate rsync configuration files
and more
Simba is extensible and has a dynamic plugin system. If you have some
knowledge of perl, you can write your own plugins and extend Simba as
you wish.
RUNNING
simba has a few command line parameters.
-c|--config
Expects the path to the configuration file
-p|--callbacks
Start the user defined callbacks
-h|--help
Shows this man page
The main documentation is available on the website
(http://simba.packages.ro). There you will find detailed documentation,
templates and a HOWTO.
