Hi Mike,
thank you for your excellent monitoring of mirrors!

A couple of issues with mirroring as R14.0.11
approaches.
(1) Over the last two days a substantial backlog has developed.
Only one mirror was up to date last night with the others
between 6K and 45K files behind.
Yes, in connection with the build of the final packages for R14.0.11 in
repository occurs large updates. Dependencies, core modules, libraries and
KOffice were built. During this day, I deliberately preserved a quiet
state that mirrors get time to complete synchronization. Building
applications and meta-packages will follow.
(2) Over the last four days we're starting to see
files that the
secondaries fail to take from the primary. They appear to
have pathnames similar to those shown below. The backlog
of these is now approaching 600. I'm wondering if the
master server rsync filter should block these from coming to
the primary mirror.
As the updates are now in progress more often, there may occur that the
synchronization of the primary mirror is started when the built packages
are being published into the repository. During the publication of each
package, apt metadata files are continuously updated, including files in
the "Packages.diff" directory that is used for faster downloading changes
in repository.
During publishing packages, I try to follow the dates of start and end of
synchronization to primary mirror to minimize such concurrents. However,
sometimes such a situation can occur.
Helped today's quiet state as I hoped?
