This mess is still the case.
As a temporary solution for users of my all_rsync.pl script for
downloading the mandrake trees, please do the following:
Line 99 is:
renamefiles("$rpm_address_remote", "$rpm_address_local");
Change this to:
# renamefiles("$rpm_address_remote", "$rpm_address_local");
This will defeat the pre-rsync file renaming. The script then
reverts to a straight rsync operation for each tree. This works
better under the current server circumstances.
