Hiya. |
| 13 |
|

I think what Swee Tat means is that the file |
| 15 |
"Archive-Update-in-Progress-mirror.averse.net" should be removed from my |
| 16 |
mirror. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Background: I touch a file by that name within the destination area when I |
| 19 |
start a mirror run for all sites that I mirror, in order that users have |
| 20 |
some way of telling that the current state of my mirror may not entirely |
| 21 |
be in a consistent and correct state. The file is removed when the |
| 22 |
scheduled mirror job is finished. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
As I don't personally use gentoo, I haven't been aware whether adding this |
| 25 |
file would cause problems to gentoo users. Since this file causes |
| 26 |
problems, I'll amend my mirror script so that it doesn't create this file. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If my understanding isn't correct, please do tell me what the problem is, |
| 29 |
and what I should do to fix it. |

Thanks for the feedback. |
