doc/Mirrors: fix example rsync command#352
Conversation

Hi Louis, I agree with your interpretation and that the command should be updated. I sent you an e-mail a bit back with why I believe it was setup this way initially:
|
R means risk, i.e. "receiver-only include" according to the manual. Cody Robertson explained that this was probably used to help seed eleases to mirrors prior to the public announcement. We no longer need to include temporary files.
Oh right, I think I read the email too quickly and missed this sentence. It makes sense then :) |

I tracked down the original commit when this was changed to 9d2bf75 but I cannot find any context as to why. I don't think it had anything to do with staging of updates. After more reading of man pages and digging on this I have no clue why we have this and I don't see any reason not to change it - in fact I think we should change it so thank you for bringing this up! |
Hi,
I discussed that in an email with @codyro and @jonathanspw. Can someone please verify my interpretation here?
R means risk, i.e. "receiver-only include" according to the manual. I believe it was a mistake because these temporary files
should be excluded, not included.
I've added a second commit to remove unnecessary trailing whitespace.
