Ubuntu mirror 'Details page' reports 'one week behind' when mirror is up to date

It looks like this happened because we got to probe your mirror some time in between a breezy package was uploaded and your sync script was fired. To make things worst, breezy is not getting uploads very often these days, so we could only tell for sure that the mirror had been updated two weeks ago.

This is specially problematic because we probe mirrors only once every day, which means even though a given mirror is synced multiple times a day, we'll report the status of a given time. As you can see, after today's probe, your mirror's status is correct for Breezy.

BTW, once bug 54791 reaches production we'll be able to increase the frequency in which we probe mirrors.

Salgado,
Is this still a problem given that bug 54791 is fix released?

The only way to alleviate this issue is by increasing the frequency in which we run the prober. But that may make a few mirror admins unhappy as we'd be issuing at least two times the number of requests we issue. Not that it matters a lot since they're HTTP HEAD requests, but...

Hi

thanks for coming back on this. Now it looks OK, except for the source
mirror of
> The Gutsy Gibbon One week behind

How often do you check it now? The page currently says it was tested 23
hours ago.
When checking daily I could hardly imagine how a mirror could be
reported as 'one week behind' when it syncs every two hours.
