[arch-general] Syncing the mirrors

[Florian Pritz]

I'm working on a mirrorscript that can be run as often as you want to.
Even every minute.
In short: The script fetches a md5sum of the databases and if one
database has changed it will start rsync to resync that particular repo.

The md5 it fetches is small, static and will cause nearly no load, but
mirrors will be way more up to date than they are now. If you run it
every minute which should not cause any problems the delay would be
nearly unnoticeable.

I'm still waiting for Roman to discuss the mirror setup itself
(multi-tier mirroring?) and maybe I'll also patch dbscripts to generate
the md5sums I need.

For those who are interested I've attached the current sync script. It
might change in future though.
