Rather than trying to write a semi-intelligent script that will make a |
| 7 |
determination on whether or not a file has made it to the main mirrors |
| 8 |
before deleting, I'd much rather just say "all files will exist for N days |
| 9 |
and then be deleted". |

If a file doesn't make it to all our mirrors within 24 hours, there's a |
| 12 |
larger problem. Thus, I'd suggest making N = 3 and leaving it at that. |

This logic should be added to repoman if it's added anywhere. Also, by |
| 19 |
keeping N=3, devs will quickly learn NOT to use this location as a primary |
| 20 |
mirror once they start getting deluged with bug reports about SRC_URI being |
| 21 |
broken. |
