There does not seem to be a documented "standard rsync" command for the mirrors to use, so I'm making all sorts of wild assumptions about what a mirror's rsync is doing. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Local_Mirror#The_synchronization_script
The real mirrors use that too? The whole "local mirror" title kind of threw me. I was looking at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors . My bad.
Afaik not every mirror uses that script and it's quite hard to reach all the admins because there is no mailinglist (though I've heared it's going to be set up).
are you taking from your experience or you did find a mirror that does store old packages? afaik only kernel.org mirror does that but they were contacted.
<Romashka> I'm trying to force all admins to use the same rsync options
Though that's from February and I don't what's the current status.
Multi tier mirroring is being done atm and I've edited the mirror script from the wiki to fetch only checksums and thus being able to run every minute which would greatly increase the distribution speed, but I still have to test for bugs. If anyone wants to help: http://karif.server-speed.net/~flo/tmp/mirrorsync.sh.txt
We're bandwidth and rsync-slot constrained, not "slow at distribution". It seems like this solution is not solving a problem we currently have... -Dan
