Something's definitely wrong on uninett (again!). This is just as bad as when it was
deleting old RPMS before getting the new ones.
Is this a problem upstream at Mandrake, or is this a uninett problem? I think it's a
uninett problem, I think they took --delete out of their rsync. Can someone notify
them?
You can cd into cooker/i586/Mandrake and run this to give you an idea of how many
packages have 2 versions:
ls -L RPMS RPMS2 | awk 'BEGIN{FS="-[0-9]"}{if ($1 == name){print last;print $0};name =
$1;last = $0}' - | less
Looks like about 300 packages, yikes!
Thanks for pointing this out Frank, my partition with my mirror was almost full; I had
to move some stuff.
There's also some packages that have been updated, but not all subpackages have made
the upload. I've noticed:
adontell-wastesedge
some crossfire packages
and there may be others. Is this something distlint or a similar script could test
for?
