In looking at the various ftp sites i see way to much variation on how the file tree sets up. How does one pull a single set of rpms from
a site without having to walk the entire tree?? (by hand, for an example the rpms needed to use audacity)


Also in doing Rsync i would think that if more than a "dozen rpms" are going to be changed during an update The Drakes should drop a
.FireStorm file into the tree and if an Rsync sees that file present it should abort with the message "Fire Storm in file tree update aborted"
then you don't waste 3 gigabytes of bandwidth just to do the same again (and again and again and..).




Please note sometimes one needs rpms to fix a broken install (due to driver issues or bad kernel rpms or..)
