Now, let's not be that way. :-) You need to pick your problem domain. You guys can try to go through a lot of machinations to establish storage policies which account for the million corner cases necessary to support all the various versions of libraries & perl, and are relatively painless to implement without raising the ire of all the contributors.... or just improve the efficiency of synchronizing the mirrors. <G> I know what sounds a hell of a lot easier and faster to me... *Really* fast for anyone familiar with the PAUSE code base. Rsync by itself is definitely a bad idea for the number of files, I agree whole-heartedly. But it's the weakest and simplest link to replace. Would I be happy to help? Sure. But I don't feel like diving into a foreign code base all by myself? No. I don't have that many spare cycles. --Arthur Corliss Live Free or DieThread Previous | Thread Next
