Question really is who set the 6 month limit? If the mad rush to keep up with the cycle causes the problems that are occurring at the moment then it must be questioned. If the problem isn't faced up to, there may not be a requirement for a six month cycle in the future, there may not be a future. -- Dave Cotton [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There was some discussion about backing off on the rate of releases a while back. -- Ben Reser [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ben.reser.org What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no longer believe you. -- Nietzsche

Do you realize that this won't work? If everyone syncs at the same time and only twice a day it will take days for things to propogate to all the mirrors. Most better mirrors are probably syncing once an hour. Further, the problem you are trying to solve is happening because you're syncing at the same time as the mirror upstream from you. So limiting everyone to sync at roughly the same time would just make this worse. I think you didn't understand completly was I was talking about.

Good mirrors update a heck of a lot more often than once a day and if everyone updates at the same time things won't fully propogate for several days (assuming one update a day)... -- Ben Reser [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ben.reser.org What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no longer believe you. -- Nietzsche
