True, yes. Clearly it's something to be considered. On balance, I'm definitely in favour of more frequent runs of dinstall. More frequent mirror runs may make things more awkward (e.g. nightly mirrors syncing an inconsistent archive), but that's probably offsetable by making the mirror tools more intelligent. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
