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 :)
