I'm not so sure it would be a good idea. We sure know the moment that all of Factory has built and we created a repository out of it. But the rest from internal repository to mirrors is done by periodic rsyncs. So something would need to wrap the rsyncs to parse their output.
Well, that doesn't sound like rocket science, and it would be push versus pull (the latter probably on the side of several clients each polling in relatively short intervalls thus increasing overall load).
So I think the better way would be some bot that polls 3 mirrors and sends out a mail if it notices that they a) are in sync and b) changed.
Anyway, I started hacking a small script of my own and ran into the first two issues. 1. Why do we have those bogus updates of MD5SUM files on ftp.suse.org when none of the underlying contents changed? 2. And why do we have bogus updates of the ChangeLog file in the top level when none of the packages actually changed and no new ChangeLog entry was added? ------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Changelog.i386 ---------- Sun Aug 12 10:32:49 CEST 2007 ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ 2007-8-8 - Aug 8 2007 ------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Gerald -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer E gp@novell.com SUSE Linux Products GmbH Director Inbound Product Mgmt T +49(911)74053-0 HRB 16746 (AG Nuremberg) openSUSE/SUSE Linux Enterprise F +49(911)74053-483 GF: Markus Rex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
