Debian GNU/Linux wheezy mirror for OpenStack

Deploying OpenStack on Debian GNU/Linux requires the wheezy repository, which not stable yet at this date. When the HOWTO is tested to work against the current state of the wheezy repository, it is worth keeping a copy to ensure it can be re-run reliably.

# ssh mirror@debian.the.re
$ bin/ftpsync sync:all

It can then be used as follows:

# cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.the.re.list <<EOF
deb http://debian.the.re/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://debian.the.re/debian wheezy main
EOF
# apt-get update
