https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238095 poeml@novell.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|ASSIGNED |RESOLVED Resolution| |FIXED ------- Comment #11 from poeml@novell.com 2007-01-31 07:57 MST ------- Meanwhile I'm pretty sure that most issues referenced here are not caused by inconsistent mirrors, or the fact that we redirect things, but rather to caching of repo metadata by web caches in between. Meanwhile, we set an appropriate Cache-Control header on those repo metadata which are frequently re-created by the buildservice. Today, I added Expires header also, just in case that cache doesn't implement Cache-Control, (or some client software like zypper, yum, smart) makes their own caching decision and doesn't have a complete implementation. The fact that we redirect comes _only_ into play because if metadata is pulled from a mirror, because on mirrors we have no influence on the HTTP headers, and can't fix them as described above. Thus, since 2007-01-29 18:20:53 +0100 we are no longer redirecting metadata requests to mirrors at all. For packages it should not matter that much, whether they get stale or mirrors are inconsistent, because the filename is altered at each rebuild. A squid with default configuration will deliver HTTP content from cache without revalidation up to 72 hours, so please allow some time for our latest changes to become effective. By the way, all this just displays how well the integrity checking of repositories is done :) I'm regarding the bug fixed; please reopen if the problem persists. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
