we are using a local debian mirror for several reasons. we let rsync run on one of the official servers once a week over the weekend, and still have security.debian.org in the sources.list files on all workstations. however, due to the nature of rsync, whenever packages on the server are updated, they are first removed locally (i have to use the --delete option since we only have a 40Gb drive for the mirror), before everything is rsync'd. usually this works quite well, but there are times when the connection is so bad that on monday morning not all packages have been rsync'd so that Packages.gz says they are there, but they aren't quite yet. apt-proxy is not an option, apt-move doesn't help either since it doesn't ensure all packages to be there - and since we do a lot of testing with random packages, we need to have access to all packages at all times. any ideas on how to improve this? martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck -- all i ask of life is a constant and exaggerated sense of my own importance.
