R help - Sep 2003 - CRAN mirror - howto?

Hello!
There is a group of administartors of Russian internet site 
www.linuxportal.ru (this is mainly a forum for linux-users) who are 
intended to host on this site mirrors of linux distributions and open 
source software with http and ftp access. I have proposed to them to 
open there a CRAN mirror, making a point what this site would be a first 
R mirror in .ru domain, and they seems to accept the idea.
Wouldn't you explain what is the procedure of opening of
"official" CRAN
mirror (i.e. site listed among CRAN mirrors on cran.r-project.org page) 
or whom I should contact with. I can not find this information on main R 
site.

Well, just make sure they *do* mirror CRAN to somewhere
(using rsync most easily), let's assume to  http://www.cran.linuxportal.ru/
Now they can ask cran at r-project.org to be added to the list of
mirrors and get a map 
http://cran.ru.r-project.org/ --> http://www.cran.linuxportal.ru/

Please ask (me or cran at ..) offline (and not earlier than Monday)
about the exact rsync command we ("CRAN.ch") are using for CRAN
mirroring.
