So is there a server (ftp or http) from where i could get the mtime, size and the repository db file as a reference?
no. there is not a publicly accessible location of the repo db file other than mirror servers. ftp.archlinux.org is the best candidate. the two servers (round robin dns for ftp.archlinux.org) synchronize approximately every hour.
Thank you. Then i must see if there are realy so many mirrors out of sync or if i have beasty little things in my script ;-) Maybe something with the UTC times on the mirrors...
could be. When viewing with command line ftp i get.. ftp> modtime core.db.tar.gz core.db.tar.gz 01/27/2008 22:03:55 GMT apache shows me the following when viewing in firefox File: core.db.tar.gz 24 KB 27/01/08 10:03:00 PM So while the ftp says "GMT", it is really PST, as the times are very close, and it is clearly within the 10PM house where I am (PST timezone). Not sure why the time is being reported as GMT in ftp.
