Right and some Servers hosting /debian-security/ are some days behind.
I can not use rsync because I have a different directory structure AND
I do not want to kill one of the security mirrors of debian, fow often
should I poll the Packages.gz/Sources.gz for changes daily?
Please note, that my own update script does:
1) Download Packages.gz/Sources.gz and check for changes
2) Create list of files to download
3) Download the stuff
4) Delete old packages localy
5) create new Packages.gz/Sources.gz
I have encountered this works faster and more effectiv then using rsync.
Currently I poll <ftp://security.debian.org/> only once a day.
