Intermittent File Access to cloudstack.apt-get.eu

[Marty Sweet <ms...@gmail.com>]

Hi Guys,

During the upgrade process I also kept experiencing the packages needed
disappearing from the cloudstack.apt-get.eu website, this caused multiple
servers to fail on update/install processes only to work several minutes
later once the files had been restored. It's clear the files are changing
regularly on there as their dates are being constantly updated.

I can reproduce this on our production nodes and from a web browser using a
different ISP, this will definitely cause issues with new people to CS and
could be a confusing first hurdle for some.

http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/ubuntu/dists/precise/4.2/

Has anyone else experienced these issues? Just refresh the directory a few
times today and see when files appear/disappear.

Thanks,
Marty

Hmm, that's odd. I maintain that server and there is a script which 
re-indexes all packages, but it should re-index what is already there.

I'll check on this.
