I just modified the qa's crontab on merkel in order to try to fix the desynchronization between ftp.root updates and the several scripts that use the ftp mirror I didn't check in the modification because I want to see if the problem persists or not. Here is the diff between the "normal" qa's crontab and the modified one: --- /tmp/crontab.2 Wed Mar 23 03:59:06 2005 +++ /tmp/crontab.1 Wed Mar 23 03:52:35 2005 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ MAILTO=tbm@cyrius.com -10 15,18 * * * /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/ftp-update +10 15 * * * /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/ftp-update 25 3,9,15,21 * * * /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/wml-build 29 19 * * * /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/lintian-update 39 14 * * * /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/orphaned-update @@ -8,10 +8,10 @@ MAILTO=tbm@cyrius.com,weasel@debian.org 25 15 * * * /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/debcheck-update MAILTO=tbm@cyrius.com,igenibel@debian.org,aba@not.so.argh.org,jeroen@debian.org -45 15,17,18 * * * nice -15 /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/ddpo +45 15,17 * * * nice -15 /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/ddpo 4-49/15 * * * * nice -15 /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/ddpo.bug 5 14 * * 0 nice -15 /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/ddpo.sigs 0 0,1 * * * nice -15 /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/ddpo.dehs 30 * * * * nice -15 /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/ddpo.wnpp 40 * * * * nice -15 /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/bts-wnpp -55 15,18 * * * /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/section-priority-update +55 15 * * * /org/qa.debian.org/data/cronjobs/section-priority-update I did several "stat" command on several Sources.gz Package.gz that reveal that the archvsync process, that mirrors the ftp.d.o, ends approximatively around 17h (merkel timezone) while the ftp-update qa's process was run at 15h10. This introduce desynchronization. In the case that th modification fixes the problem let me know if there are other qa's process (ran in qa's crontab) to be run later.
