1 Hi Guys,
2
3 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?

20 Any thoughts?
