Ok, I don't recall that script. Could you show it to me or remind me
where it came from? Thanks.

I run the mirror-ports script I was told to run, daily. And rsync

Dear admins of the European MacPorts distfiles mirrors,
It appears that the files on the mirrors are going stale, that is,
files for newly-added or updated ports are not appearing on your
mirrors. Do you have any mechanism in place to periodically update
your mirrors? William Siegrist suggests that you should poll for
changes or just run "port mirror all" from time to time.
The California mirror is kept up to date via a post-commit script
that runs as soon as anything is committed to the repository. I
imagine this is possible because the repository server and the
mirror server are near one another, but perhaps there would be a
more general way to have the repository server ping all the
mirrors to tell them it's time to re-fetch a given port, for
example by simply accessing a URL like
http://<mirror>/refetch.php/<port>
refetch.php could be written to only accept connections from the
repository server to prevent abuse.

We have three distfiles mirrors, in the US, Norway and Sweden:
US: http://distfiles.macports.org/
NO: http://trd.no.distfiles.macports.org/
SE: http://arn.se.distfiles.macports.org/
In /graphviz the US mirror has distfiles up to the current port
version, graphviz-2.21.20090209.0545.tar.gz.
But Sweden only has files up to
graphviz-2.21.20090106.0545.tar.gz.
Norway only has files up to graphviz-2.21.20081216.0545.tar.gz.
I believe the US mirror, which runs right next to the Subversion
repository, gets updated in a post-commit hook, so as soon as
someone commits a new version of a port, the mirror fetches the
new file.
How do Norway and Sweden get informed that they should fetch new
files? I fear they're not getting informed at all.
You might want to CC the mirror owners, but in any case, they
have to poll for changes (via RSS, mailing list, whatever) or
just perform full "port mirror <port>" runs periodically.
