It's more a question of creating a new delivery platform, because the currently used ftp mirrorring is useless for packages. The whole process of synchronizing from upstream server introduces _days_ of delay into the process, and there is no guarantee that you don't catch an upload in progress, which renders whole mirror useless for a time period. --=20 Pav Lucistnik Do not meddle in the fashions of wizards, for they are seasonal and quick to fall out of style! --=-XbwpSqw+KyuOtUGR8vvO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Toto je =?UTF-8?Q?digit=C3=A1ln=C4=9B?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_podepsan=E1?= =?UTF-8?Q?_=C4=8D=C3=A1st?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_zpr=E1vy?= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAknJMDQACgkQntdYP8FOsoIT+QCfT/vsOKE9BIsf+HtY75W/Y9iT 6fAAn2OXlDn/dfSgKU6+YowtJwkkD06B =Ahlk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-XbwpSqw+KyuOtUGR8vvO--
