oh. is /7/ supposed to be a symlink to /7.0.1406/ or a separate directory ? it appears my mirroring of the mirror may be broken if its supposed to be a symlink.
in /7.0.1406/, I'm seeing files up to Feb 22.
/7/ is a link to the latest release, which at this point in timeis 7.0.1406.Once 7.1 is released, the 7 symlink will point to it.
It is indeed a symlink ... and it will indeed be shifted.
People also really should use rsync with the -H option for hardlinks as that will save much space between releases as well. (Almost all the items in the 'cr' repo, 'os' repo, and 'fasttrack' repo from the 7.0.1406 tree will make up the new os repo in the newer 7.1.1503 tree.)
If you are not using -H, you have to download each RPM more than once.
Absolutely, what Johnny said. We *always* use hard links for our backups, which is the only way we could (most of the time) keep 5 weeks of b/u of our home and project directories.
