This has been a problem in the past and I believe this is one big "cold sore" on what is normally a great distribution.
Mandrake should do something about it's "main" cooker mirror and guarantee that it at least is always the "true" source for all the other mirrors. When I compare ftp.sunet.se (supposedly the secondary mirror) with ftp.uinett.no they are horribly out of sync. And as reported yesterday, for over 24 hours now - there have been no new packages on the main mirror - and Rsync is deleting my local files. This is more than frustrating! Especially under the crunch of bug squashing before the supposed September release of 9.2 Doesn't mandrake have a Cooker release coordinator which guarantees the mirror availability? Maybe a deal with a large sponsor like HP for a better mirror infrastructure would be an idea? Sorry for the rant, but awaiting for ftp.uinett.no to get back to normal so I can continue to test Cooker!! Cheers, R.Fox -- Robert Fox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fox Consulting Services
