Hi,
Typically Arch archives are specified by a pair of co-ordinates (archive
name, URL). I'm seeing more and more Arch URLs (which is good) but the not
the archive name so much.
That is only a problem if you tend to mirror a lot (as I do). Currently I
register the archive to determine it's name, de-register it and then
re-register is as archive-SOURCE
Here is a quick patch to register-archive which adds '-M' (similiar to tla
make-archive's -M) which registers Arch URLs as SOURCE.
You can grab the patch from the Arch co-ordinates:
address@hidden/tla--princess--0

As this is my first attempt at contributing do let me know if I've done
anything wrong or incorrect.
Thanks,
Anand
Well, I'm guessing you don't to use the -M flag. -M means
"--mirror-from". Probably something more like "--source" or something
like that would be fine.
Also, I tried to get to your web-page, but I got a Request Not Found error.
Eventually I figured out that you need a ~ before your username.

Also, tradition says to use your archive name as part of the url, so it
makes it more obvious. That would change your archive to
http://www.progsoc.uts.edu.au/~wildfire/arch/address@hidden/
I'll try to look at it, though.
But if you are contributing, you should double check your url's. :)
