7 Just checked a few mirrors and it looks like our mirroring system isn't
8 working correctly, in that it hasn't spread from our main mirror at osuosl.

14 They are not synchronized at all. I make the patch tarballs, and upload them
15 to our mirroring system. I then wait 4-5 hours for them to appear on
16 gentoo.osuosl.org, then I manually release the ebuild. Usually, by the time
17 the ebuild hits the live portage tree, the tarballs have already spread onto
18 many more mirrors.

20 It's two separate processes, so theres no synchronization window to worry about.
