Hi Guys, |

Is there a policy for the syncing of the mirrors, that would prevent |
4 |
inconsistencies? I'm not talking about inconsistencies with the |
5 |
master server(s), as that would be kind of difficult to have atomic |
6 |
syncing between all servers involved. What I'm referring to is |
7 |
inconsistencies in terms of me syncing with a mirror. |
8 |
|
9 |
I can't count how many times I've had a problem, gone on a wild goose |
10 |
hunt, and then ended up syncing again and it works. Could this be due |
11 |
to one of the mirrors doing a sync, while it's own rsync is still |
12 |
accepting connections? If so, then I may get a portage tree that is |
13 |
not properly synced. |
14 |
|
15 |
If each mirror's rsync is not shutdown during syncing, wouldn't it be |
16 |
better if it actually was? I think we'd rather get a connection |
17 |
refused message, and have *emerge* try another mirror, than to have an |
18 |
inconsistent portage state, don't we think? |

Any thoughts? |
