I just ran the upgrade script on it to make sure the changes are copied live. The repo is up to date as far as commit messages, I'll go back through the changelog to see if anything was missed from the belg->quantum switch.
As for LFS, BLFS, HLFS, etc and mirror rsyncing, it hasn't been working for over 2 months. I tried to add a note to the lfs website mirrors page that no one has setup rsync and all mirrors are out of date, but the post-commit didn't work. All emails to server-admin and website lists have not been answered, and the mirrors have written me often about errors with rsyncing. > In fact, is there anyone that knows exactly who all can admin Quantum? > Don't say Gerard, because (with all due respect) I don't feel Gerard > is even a contributing member of the community any longer.

Sorry, if something isn't synced correctly, it is likely my fault, I'll double check them, if you know of any URL's in particular not working by tomorrow or next time Anduin rsyncs, let me know on list or privately. On a side note, now that the lfs server is faster, it would be great if we could generate a wget list for use by my scripts. I'll have to talk to Manuel about it, but this is how I manage the LFS and CLFS packages, comparing the wget file to the actual files. I don't have any xml parsing tools on the osuosl server so such a list is the easiest way.
