Basicly, you give SSH access to an upstream mirror in the account used for
your tool (i.e. in our case 'manpages'). Instead of shell access, access
from the mirror to that account triggers running a task, which, in our
case, would run an archive update the archive.

I agree it is an interesting feature, but the previous service (CGI-based)
just triggered content updates through a cronjob, which was executed once
per month. I do not recall a complain from users mentioning it as "out of
date".

Best regards
