First result: at this moment, master and ftp are identical, except for Incoming (of course), and except for the problem that somewhere, someone is losing or gaining seven hours. The time stamps between master and ftp are off by those seven hours. We should try to make sure that our mirrors don't munge the time stamps. That way, it is easier to change mirrors. I believe the usual problem is that the timezones seen by mirror and the ftp daemon don't agree (most probably, one of them is at UTC). The same effect can happen if mirror is accidentally run with use_timelocal=false (generally a bad idea). Hmm. I just saw that master's ftpd uses UTC, not local time, and thus differs by 5 hours from master's local time. The ls-lR differs by 2 hours from local time; how on earth?! And ftp.debian.org seems to agree with the ls-lR. Strange! MfG Kai -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
