Perhaps the slashdot effect of everybody almost at once needing to delete |
| 12 |
and (re)add their overlays in layman, thus forcing a new clone, in |
| 13 |
ordered to kill the sync errors due to the previously configured host |
| 14 |
disappearing? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I had that happen a couple days ago and once I figured out that the old |
| 17 |
host shutdowns was why I was getting the errors, the delete/re-add |
| 18 |
process went reasonably smoothly, but that might have been before the big |
| 19 |
rush. |

Or maybe it's simply suffering an attack DDoS? Infra? |

FWIW, once cloned, updates seem to be reasonably normal/fast, at least |
| 24 |
for the two overlays (kde and x11) I have subscribed. Maybe they're |
| 25 |
limiting cloning speed due to the above, figuring people will get thru it |
| 26 |
eventually, to keep normal updates reasonable? |
