Thanks for your answer and for all the work the sparc team does.

I mirror rsync://secondary.fedoraproject.org/fedora-secondary/development in
ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/ftp/packages/linux-fedora-secondary/development/
I do not mirror the other subdirectories yet as I am interested in sparc
only.

What puzzles me is the delay between compiling packages as seen in
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-sparc/2009-January/date.html and
actually releasing them. Couldn't you just copy them automatically right
after successfull compilation?

I'd vote for immediate releasing the ready updates into
fedora-secondary/updates/9/sparc or fedora-secondary/updates/test/9/sparc
even before F-9 goes into fedora-secondary/releases . It would make life
of people running production sparc F-9 systems easier and safer.
