Hi,

I today have a problem as well with metadata being newer than what is available on disk. I wonder whether we should require from mirrors to use rsync with --delay-updates as problems with repository metadata was exactly why we got this feature added to rsync a couple of years ago.

We could enforce it from the CentOS mirrors by checking the rsync version and/or options provided to the server. Is something like this feasible ?

See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mirrors-announce/2006-August/000002... for how 'the other half lives.' Different files; still good advice.
