 This is a nuisance when changing mirrors and it can lead to huge data
 loss if you are using, for example, rsync with the --delete switch.

 If asked, I prefer the ftp.sunet.se setup with its links.

Tell me about it..., it has happened to me too many times now. But, the worst 
part is when whey also change within the location.

[Cooker] Primary mirrors still in disarray

2001-11-17 Thread Peter Ruskin

I just switched back from uninett.no to ftp.sunet.se and noticed the 
following discrepancies *still* exist:

i586/Mandrake/RPMS2 is a directory at uninett.no, whereas at ftp.sunet.se 
i586/Mandrake/RPMS2 - ../../../contrib/i586/

i586/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/lib/X11 is a directory at uninett.no, whereas 
at ftp.sunet.se i586/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/lib/X11 - ../X11R6/lib/X11
