Quite a bit of the discussion here on this topic has revolved around an
explanation of why that isn't the case. Setting up rsync is trivial for mirror

I am trying to create a Makefile.PL using Module::Install for Bugzilla so
it can be uploaded to CPAN. There are many issues I'll have to deal with but
here is one that might be relevant to others.
Currently Bugzilla can be installed with either MySQL, PostgreSQL or Oracle.

It's not about what you know, but about what you are willing to

Why use rsync, then? Why not have checkpointed logs on cpan with
