Hi,
the sync scheduling to mirrors should be a little faster now. I removed some unnecessary delays. I believe this could have been the main cause, I'm not sure. There could be another reason why the mozilla project might have been ignored. I had to work on the output and logging quite a lot to fix some bugs and make the output more useful, and in the cause I also synced the mozilla project; I'm not entirely sure why it was ignored. Most likely it was too late in the alphabet. We will probably need to prioritize the scheduling by download popularity. This will have to be revisited later.
first of all, many thanks for your analysis and work to resurrect the issue. It appears that your assumption is correct as I just found out, that the "vdr" repository is also completely out of sync (which is even later in the alphabet than "mozilla").
I made another little change which now prioritizes the projects in a way that home:* is handled after other projects. This will make mozilla, multimedia:audio, and similar projects go to the mirrors first. The (sometimes) highly active but small home:* projects now have a worse chance to be mirrored but that affects much fewer users. There are 2260 home projects, and 335 non-home projects. I eliminated a sync push pause of 2x1 hour a day that existed only for one particular mirrror. This should also help. Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!"
