Hi mirrors, |
2 |
|
3 |
Historically, our CVS-to-rsync process was overly enthusiastic about |
4 |
updating timestamps on files, even if they hadn't changed. |
5 |
|
6 |
With the new Git-to-rsync process, we've run into a few cases where the |
7 |
mtime is not represented with sufficiently high accuracy to catch all of |
8 |
the changes, and as a result changes are being missed. |
9 |
|
10 |
Can you please alter your rsync cronjobs to include --checksum in the |
11 |
commandline? All Portage calls will be including --checksum in future as |
12 |
well. |
13 |
|
14 |
A decade ago, we didn't include --checksum in the calls, as the CPU |
15 |
power available was considerably less; however systems have improved |
16 |
tremendously since that time. |

I have updated the official mirroring wiki page, and if it's been a long |
19 |
time since you reviewed your scripts, I encourage you to review it: |
