I already outlined a better solution on [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I
believe Justin just condensed all the ideas out there into one big
doc, so I'll defer to that. I think you have it right, but
I would say:
- put all the dist-able files into their final destination directories
- symlink to the current (symlinks work over rsync, IIRC)

Oh, and for the record, moving files into .old/ directories is
evil for rsync. :) (This isn't directed at Pier) Moving files
around causes rsync to do a delete and then re-download the
moved files/directories.
So you suggest initially populating old/ and then symlinking the
now-current version in the main download directory at the old/
target, instead? It would still initially download the package
twice, and then simply unlink it later on, right?
Or what's the right approach here?
