Strange.
I have tried the --delete option with not so nice results. Every time I
update the tree with rsync (and previously with wget) I end up
eventually with lots of older (outdated) files.
I tried the following line which basically blew away many "good" files
(not just older files!):
rsync -auvPn --delete ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/ .
Here's a snip of the output:
deleting Mandrake/rpms/kernel22-source-2.2.19-17mdk.i586.rpm
deleting Mandrake/rpms/kernel22-smp-2.2.19-17mdk.i586.rpm
deleting Mandrake/rpms/kernel22-secure-2.2.19-17mdk.i586.rpm
deleting Mandrake/rpms/kernel22-2.2.19-17mdk.i586.rpm

deleting Mandrake/rpms/kernel-doc-2.4.8-12mdk.i586.rpm
deleting Mandrake/rpms/kernel-2.4.8-12mdk.i586.rpm
...
Something is not right here.
Thx,
