psync is a distribution mirroring utility.

psync's main goal is to be able to update a distribution mirror but keep it as consistent as possible.

One of the main problems updating a mirror is that if the mirroring process is stopped for any reason, the mirror stays inconsistent: either some of the packages in the old databases were removed or not all the new packages were downloaded.

psync aims to fix this. It also aims to support as many distributions as possible.

Requirements:
curl
python-apt

What's New in This Release:
A warning is given for a repository which was requested via the command line which doesn't have a definition in the configuration file.
Error handling was improved.
The consistency implementation is more correct.
More drivers were added for CPAN, Mozilla, and OpenOfficeOrg.
Lots of bugs were fixed.
