4 Greetings,
5
6 When syncing from the master portage server
7 (rsync://rsync1.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage), sometimes the
8 metadata/timestamp.chk gets deleted. Here's an excerpt from our rsync logs:
9
10 > gentoo-portage.log-20100113.gz:2010/01/12 04:03:10 [23321] gentoo-portage del. metadata/timestamp.chk 0
11 > gentoo-portage.log-20100114.gz:2010/01/14 01:33:10 [2988] gentoo-portage del. metadata/timestamp.chk 0
12 > gentoo-portage.log-20100115.gz:2010/01/14 10:03:09 [23615] gentoo-portage del. metadata/timestamp.chk 0
13 > gentoo-portage.log-20100118.gz:2010/01/17 14:03:09 [29970] gentoo-portage del. metadata/timestamp.chk 0
14 > gentoo-portage.log-20100122.gz:2010/01/21 20:03:09 [7617] gentoo-portage del. metadata/timestamp.chk 0
15 > gentoo-portage.log-20100122.gz:2010/01/22 02:33:11 [10630] gentoo-portage del. metadata/timestamp.chk 0

17 Since we're using the rsync flag "--delete" I'm guessing that this
18 basically means that the file didn't exist on the master server at the
19 time of syncing.
20
21 Why is that? Should we start testing for the existence of this file
22 before syncing?
23
24 Thank you.

26 Best regards,
