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.

Mirror Site Overview and information

The primary mirror is

http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/
rsync://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/

The size of the archive is in the order of 5 GB, and the server is connected via a gigabit link. However, you may still be better off by using a local mirror from the list below.

There is also an additional rsync target

rsync://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw-full/

with the full package history with all packages ever released in the extra directory allpkgs/ which totals to about 30 GB.

Please note: We can not control the rate at which mirrors are updated.

Large deployments

If your organization has a larger deployment, consider setting up an own mirror inside your LAN.

Old versions of OpenCSW packages

All packages ever released are available from

 http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/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.

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

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

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. We are especially interested in the following information:

  • How often do you sync?
  • What is your bandwidth?
  • Can we check the sync status and/or download stats?
