Mirror Site Overview and information
The primary mirror is
http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/ rsync://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/
It is connected via gigabit and should be pretty fast. However, you may still be better off by using a local mirror from the list below.
Please note: We can not control the rate at which mirrors are updated. Therefore you may wish to verify that your mirror of choice is up to date.
To mirror sites: If you have the bandwidth and disk space to spare to be another mirror site please let us know! Please contact us at mirror _at_ opencsw.org and subscribe to the low-volume moderated-only mirror-announce mailing list. Especially we are interested in the following facts:
- How often do you sync?
- What is your bandwidth?
- Can we check the sync status and/or download stats?
Current public mirrors
The following mirror URLs each point to a mirror root and need to be suffixed with the OpenCSW release branch name that you want use. In general, HTTP is the prefered transport.

Unofficial mirror sites
There are a few mirror sites that seem to have sprung up of their own accord, usually as a side effect of mirroring one of our primary mirror sites. It is unknown how often they sync up, or whether the sites are going to stick around. That being said, the fact that all the packages are md5-hashed and signed, means that if you have gnupg and textutils(md5) installed, it doesnt matter who mirrors the packages, as long as you have good download speeds from them!
Unofficial sites found so far:
Spain: http://sunsite.rediris.es/mirror/openCSW/ ftp://ftp.rediris.es/mirror/openCSW/
rsync servers (for multi-machine installations)
If you would like to keep a local mirror of the full archives in an efficient manner, the following sites currently allow rsync connections (test for yourself which ones give you best download speed!):
rsync://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw rsync://mirrors.ibiblio.org/opencsw rsync://ftp.sunet.se/pub/vendor/sun/OpenCSW rsync://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/opencsw.org/csw rsync://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/opencsw/ rsync://rsync.grangefields.co.uk/opencsw.org
This allows you to download all the packages once to a single machine, then point your internal machines configuration to that single internal machine, to maximize use of your local bandwidth speeds. Note: do not use the -z option to rsync. The packages are all gzipped, which means -z will only slow things down. You should use the -H option, on the other hand, if you choose to mirror both “stable” and “current” portions of our archives. (And even if you are only mirroring a subpiece of it, using -H is probably a good idea anyway)
Suggested options:
rsync -aH --delete
Older versions
Some sites choose to update their mirrors without the delete option turned on. This means that all older packages are available from them. One such site is
http://csw.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/oldpkgs/
There is also an official archive under construction at
http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw-future/allpkgs/
GPG public key
Here is the public key, which is used to sign the catalog files to verify package integrity across mirror sites. This ensures that the md5 hashes are not tampered with, which in turn ensure that the binaries themselves are not altered.

gpg verification is optional. If you wish to have the catalog file (with its list of checksums for each package) verified by gpg, then you should save this page and add the public key to your root “keyring”. For example:
# /opt/csw/bin/wget --output-document=/tmp/gpg.key [this-page's url] # /opt/csw/bin/gpg --import /tmp/gpg.key
Or you can install the OpenCSW PKI package:
# /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -i CSWcswpki
You may also want to trust the key:
# /opt/csw/bin/gpg --edit-key board@opencsw.org trust
