Right.

My plan now is a wget -N for each spell's source.

The problem is that many of our spells still use config's in their details and such, which leads to missed downloads.

The other problem is that wget -N does not handle things like expiration of the tarball (i.e. removing it), versioning, etc.

The current plan (at least, the one i think may work the best) is:

a) Define exact, strict rules for what stays and what goes.
b) Setup a few trusted sourcemage boxes (probably cvs., my own, maybe Adam's and/or Eric's), and have them run a sorcery based utility that goes through and creates a lists of urls according to those rules on a regular basis.
c) Setup a simple server script to grab those lists, combine them, remove duplicates, and then wget -N every last one of them.

Thoughts?

The script is just "summon -all" for the 3 grimoires ?


As far as the sorcery mirror thing, i dunno. Ask Nick.

make more sense to add a few lines to a sorcery script than for each

changes.

No clue.

No so often... lots of files missing (either new/obsolete releases).

It was supposed to be the "mirror of last resort", who keeps obsolete
