Merlin archives and dist structure
We are getting an rsync error daily regarding Merlin. The reason is that
the the structure in the archive is:
merlin/
sources/
binaries/
3.0/
3.2.5/
and the structure in dist is:
merlin/
sources/ -> binaries/
3.0/
3.2.5/
Looking at the archive, all of the files under sources/ appear to be
duplicates of what those present in binaries, but since the sources
directory is not empty, and archive is not configured to remove anything
ever (archive contains the entire historical record), it cannot replicate
the symlink.
Do you expect to start releasing separate source and binary packages?
Perhaps it would work to have dist sources/ be a real directory, awaiting
separate source packages, and have 3.0/ and 3.2.5/ symlink to their real
counterparts under binaries/.

Done. I'll worry about cleaning up the redundancies after the next rsync.

Not in the immediate future.

That would make more sense.
