Hellow.

I have been checking source download and verification of spells sources for
quite a while now. We have 2 master bugs (http://www.sourcemage.org/issues/53
and http://www.sourcemage.org/issues/55) on our issue tracker about that.

But bug http://www.sourcemage.org/issues/176 got my attention. The source from
OUR fallback server failed the verification. (just from one. The other mirror
is OK... Strange).

That how I started to wonder how our fallback mirrors are getting updated? And
how often?

I researched and found http://dbg.download.sourcemage.org/fallback/. Our
fallback mirror. To my surprise it was updated very recently :) Which is GOOD!
However when I looked what files were "last modified" I noticed that there are
SCM sources on our fallback mirrors. Which is totally pointless. As far as I
know sorcery doesn't even look for SCM sources on fallback mirrors.

The second problem I see is that sources don't get verified after/before are
put on fallback mirror (as seen on http://www.sourcemage.org/issues/176).

So to sum up the questions:
* Is there a script for updating fallback mirrors?
  - Can we modify/improve it?
* How often are fallback updated?
* How often are old sourced cleaned? (is it automated?)
* Why source from spell live (stable source live.2011.07.21.tar.gz or in test
grimoire live.2011.09.02.tar.gz ) ? (Why I am asking about this particular
spell? Because upstreams removes old source with every version bump leading to
download failures for our spell)


Answers to those would give me basic understanding of how our fallback mirrors
work.

Thanks in advance for answers!

kind regards,
Bor Kraljič
