Hello, http://stage.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ shows files from 15th of February, while rsync still seems to lag behind with end of January files: [...]
Yes. The stage area hosting Factory is not being updated for over a week now. The reason is, I started working on a new sync regime for Factory (internal servers / buildservice -> stage.o.o public area -> stage.o.o stage area -> mirrors) about two weeks ago, but didn't get very far, due to various other things getting into the way. So, it's "work in progress". Unfortunately, it's quite hard for me at this moment to commit to a timeframe when I can bring this to an end. The goal of the change mentioned above is to have Factory on stage.opensuse.org being updated frequently, as before -- but have a separate (public) area that has a copy of the tree *plus* older packages kept around for some time, so to have them available until user's installers and metadata don't reference them anymore. So the goal is to have a delayed cleanup of old packages, without inflicting the same waste of space onto the mirrors.
