we use this quite frequently actually.. for the above reason.  it's not too bad
as long as someone keeps track of how it is meant to work (so there isn't
confusion down the track..)


btw peter, can you check to see if you have ~12 connections open on ftp-master
(or if it is the rsync server_timeout bug..) as i can't connect now..


also, what happened to packages-3-stable ?  i thought (obviously mistakenly)
that the methodology was to slowly delete "release" trees and keep the
"packages snapshot" trees around instead for the previous arch, since this
ensured later packages might be available.. e.g after 5.0 is released, over
the next 12-18 months, the packages-4.X-release trees would be deleted and
symlinked to packages-4-stable as a "single" tree to keep around for older
releases..

P.S i have quite a few people asking me when the 4.5 full install ISO image will be
made available btw murray.. mainly because the mini install ISO doesn't include
the 80M odd of X11, for their laptop/desktop installs..
