Hi mirrors, Historically, our CVS-to-rsync process was overly enthusiastic about updating timestamps on files, even if they hadn't changed.
With the new Git-to-rsync process, we've run into a few cases where the mtime is not represented with sufficiently high accuracy to catch all of the changes, and as a result changes are being missed. Can you please alter your rsync cronjobs to include --checksum in the commandline? All Portage calls will be including --checksum in future as well. A decade ago, we didn't include --checksum in the calls, as the CPU power available was considerably less; however systems have improved tremendously since that time. I have updated the official mirroring wiki page, and if it's been a long time since you reviewed your scripts, I encourage you to review it: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Infrastructure/Mirrors/Rsync -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Infrastructure Lead, Foundation Trustee E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85
