I ONCE AGAIN (for the third time) got half of one release (432891) and
half of another (433120) because the newest snapshot of the pkgs was
replaced half way through my process of downloading a large set of
packages. Then a couple of days later I managed to get all the files of
433274, but by the time I got to downloading the metadata it was changed
to the next snapshot (433341), making my mirror pointless. (unless there
is a script I can run to regenerate the metadata from the actual files.
(I'm guessing there is).
I must be missing something. For that I am sorry. But... if I was
confronted with this problem I would just say f*ck it, I'll use
poudriere. I think you've mentioned you've got a package set of
something less than 400 packages. I use an 8 core AMD cpu + a big ssd
+ 32G of memory (~$500) to maintain nightly updates of an ~1300
package set. It's efficient enough that I can usually drop a new port
into my ports file and run a bulk build that completes anywhere from a
couple of minutes to less than an hour. (Though sometimes that
stretches out to 6 hrs or more) With not very much capital in disk you
could maintain as many sets of packages as you cared, with varying svn
revisions, local options, local branches, etc. I know if my job
depended on "reproducible" package sets that would be the only
technique I trusted.

Please consider keeping two copies, at any time. this measn that
someonewho starts copying the latest set has at least a couple of days
to get it.
So FreeBSD http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/latest/ would be a
link to the latest but someone who followed the link 20 minutes earlier
and was copying files would keep getting a consistent set.
the actual backing set would be called
something like:
FreeBSD-pkg/head/r433274/FreeBSD:10:amd64/All
and the next would be:
FreeBSD-pkg/head/r433341/FreeBSD:10:amd64/All
then
FreeBSD-pkg/head/r433529/FreeBSD:10:amd64/All
etc. (real snapshot numbers)
but
http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/latest/ would always point to
the latest one.
this would ensure that I don't keep getting HALF A RELEASE!
