Curious, as this came up on deb-user as well. Has there any thought
been made to ensuring that archive updates are atomic? I'm not
generally familiar with the process, but it would seem that if new
packages are uploaded, old packages retained, Packages lists saved to
temporary locations, then overwritten, and finally, old packages
removed, the integrity problems we're seeing would be less frequent.
There's also the issue of cross-site synchronization for round-robin
DNS hosts, as http.us.debian.org:
http.us.debian.org A 204.152.189.120
http.us.debian.org A 141.213.4.21
http.us.debian.org A 192.25.206.10
http.us.debian.org A 35.9.37.225
Just a thought.
Peace.
