This is going to absolutely destroy gerolde and our mirrors with rsync backlog. We really need to start getting some of this out there if possible since when we move packages from [testing] to other repos, we don't have a symlink farm like we do with arch="any" packages.
Didn't we have someone working on adjusting the db-scripts so all packages went to a "package" directory and were symlinked to the repo? That would save us much bandwidth and hassle with big rebuilds like these...
Can anyone remember who that was and if it was started?
As far as I remember, it was purely an idea. No work was started. I will try to add it into the db-scripts next week sometime. It shouldn't be too much work, though the cleanup scripts will need to be reworked a bit
