-This two-way mirror approach makes sure that users with their apt-get can always fetch the files that are announced
-to be there (via the Packages files), even when your mirror is updating itself at the moment they try to download stuff.
-You are free to use any other option to rsync you may like, but we strongly suggest to use at least -lH.

+href="id_mirrorpush.pub">this ssh key</a>to the mirror-user's
+.ssh/authorized_keys file. If you look into the key you see that it is limited
+to only one command. This means that we are NOT able to log on to your system
+with this key. There
+is no way for us to do anything other to your system then to just trigger the
+mirror - so the only harm we can do would be to trigger your mirror every few
+seconds, but for that the script we provide as an example uses a lockfile to
+avoid multiple runs at the same time. <b>You need to change that to whatever
+script you use, but do NOT delete the & at the end.</b> </p>

+<h2>Getting the push</h2>
+
+<p> As soon as you finished setting it up you are ready to be added to the list
+of "pushed" servers. For that please email the hostname and the username where
+the signal should be sent to <a href="mailto:rsync@ftbfs.de";>rsync@ftbfs.de</a>.
</p>
+<h2>Getting listed as mirror</h2>
+<p> Simple, after the above is finished and running you are normally added to
+our mirror list. While you send the hostname/username to the address above
+please send the the following information to <a
+href="mailto:debian-volatile@lists.debian.org";>debian-volatile@lists.debian.org</a>.
+This data will be used to generate our mirrorlist. </p>

+<h2>Finished</h2>
+<p>Yes, that was it. THANK YOU for offering a mirror service!</p>
+
+<h2>Traffic and Space Considerations</h2>
+<h3>Traffic</h3>
+<p>
+Maybe you want to know what traffic you will get - or how much disk space you
+need. I can't say much about the bandwith usage, as that's dependent on the
+users, how they use it and what mirror they choose. I know that we have a
+currently about 20GB a month on volatile.debian.net. Some mirrors might have
+more, some less traffic.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Space</h3>
+
+<p>
+At the moment our archive takes about 200MB of space. As we add packages from
+time to time please expect this archive to grow.
+</p>
-A "push" mirror is a normal mirror which gets notified by the
-volatile master mirror abSimply said: A normal mirror, with the only difference that we tell
-you when something has changed in the archive. No need to go and just
-try a sync, you know when it changed. A good page describing it, and
-some parts of the setup, is available on the debian.org servers.
-Please read it if you are not familiar with it.
