Ahh... BTW, did you know that I am also mirroring rawhide on
altruistic.lbl.gov? Goto the http://altruistic.lbl.gov to get the server_list.

Presently it does not delete the old files, but I am working on it.

It will only add/change the database according to what has changed on the
mirror. It will not get the provides for grab (for example) unless I update
the package. It is not server dependant but it is package dependent thus if
all the packages on a server are the same, then grab will not update anything
for that server. Sorry, if it does not sound clear. It is still early, and I
was up late last night with warewulf (one of my other projects).

Does that help?
