I was pretty sure we discussed this on maintainers, but as I couldn't find the post this probably happened on IRC which you may have missed. There was quite some discussion on the layout and AFAIR everybody was fine with the extra rsync URL not being the default, so I wrongly assumed you also were part of the discussion. > Our conversation could have been: > > Me: "I'm not sure what you mean by downstream-sites selecting what to offer." > You: "There are 2 directories you can sync, /opencsw and > /opencsw-full, it's documented at <url>." > > It would have saved us confusion. Yeah. I added a note to http://www.opencsw.org/get-it/mirrors/ about the extra rsync URL. As always I should have done this in the first place :-( Best regards -- Dago -- "You don't become great by trying to be great, you become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process." - xkcd #896 _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
