Comment (by jkeating):
This seems to have been "dropped", or at least never picked up.
If I understand things, there are at least 3 scripts that place content on
the /pub/fedora/ path. Those are the fedora-updates-push script (for
syncing out the updates content), buildrawhide which composes and syncs
out rawhide each night, and finally buildbranched which composes and syncs
out the branched release (if we have an active one).
Adding a call to rsync -r in each of these scripts, and then hoping none
run at the same time seems a bit dangerous. Perhaps a better approach
would be to create a script that updates/compresses the file, and does so
with a locking mechanism. This way each script or manual process that
puts files on the /pub/fedora path can end with a call (to the background)
of this script, which will wait (in line?) until any current run is
finished then execute.
That's just my suggestion though. Maybe the new releng leader will have
time to look at this issue, or some other volunteer :)
