Rather than trying to write a semi-intelligent script that will make a determination on whether or not a file has made it to the main mirrors before deleting, I'd much rather just say "all files will exist for N days and then be deleted". =20 If a file doesn't make it to all our mirrors within 24 hours, there's a larger problem. Thus, I'd suggest making N =3D 3 and leaving it at that. > Ensuring that the patch host is not the primary mirror will be a > concern, but a script can be devised to ensure duplication of > the patchname and that a primary mirror is listed prior to it. This logic should be added to repoman if it's added anywhere. Also, by keeping N=3D3, devs will quickly learn NOT to use this location as a primary mirror once they start getting deluged with bug reports about SRC_URI being broken. > The host for the files should not be accessable for any reason > except direct filename downloads.
