At least most of the mirrors have to struggle with the later correction of your initial permissions fiddling (me too).
I got tons of mails about not appropriate permissions after release if I forgot to run
find ${DST} -type d -exec chmod go=rx {} \; find ${DST} -type f -exec chmod a+r {} \;
and I have to rsync the files after download from stage to the official servers which would not work without special hand-crafting each and every time.
Hmm, I don't understand - but I didn't invent this whole mechanism either. The files are unreadable on first sync on purpose - when I publish I change the permissions and wait for the mirrors to resync. This works for all the other mirrors just fine from what I can say: e.g. http://ftp.uni-ulm.de/mirrors/opensuse/distribution/11.1-RC1/iso/openSUSE-11... "You don't have permission"
Any restrictions during these procedures can lead to errors and delays, and they are of less sense.
Somebody testing something before it is officially announced is clearly on his own, and this can also be good as we have seen today.
This I understand even less. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mirror+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: mirror+help@opensuse.org
