And why, you may ask, is there a connection between dinstall and
the web updates? The web updates are done after a successful run
of dinstall and after the archive is mirrored. This is keep the
web and archive as synchronized as possible and to keep the load
on master reasonable. Previously, we often got ridiculous loads
because there was no coordination between the large cron jobs
that were often run.
