hi Guys
One of the key problems we need to solve / resolve and do so with some level of urgency is the mirror problem : How do we get content 'out there' fast enough to reduce the time-to-release lag. Typically, from the time everything is ready to go and the release notes / release email are done, it takes 3 days to get to a releaseable stage for the mirror network.
The rsync tree that we are using at this point is clearly not good-enough ( either because of how we use it, or because of what it is and how it works ). Also, release time activity and how donors react to them makes it tricky to rely on specific nodes - something we really need to get to in order to improve the rsync tree cascading setup we have in place.
