CPAN mirror delay

[Jerry Durand <jd...@interstellar.com>]

I was wondering how long CPAN takes to update its mirrors?  I just  
checked and Mail::SpamAssassin is still 3.2.0 from whatever mirror  
we're going to.

cpan[1]> look Mail::SpamAssassin
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.13)
Going to read /private/var/root/.cpan/Metadata
   Database was generated on Tue, 12 Jun 2007 19:08:28 GMT
Running look for module 'Mail::SpamAssassin'

Trying to open a subshell in the build directory...
CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.44)
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.004)
Checksum for /private/var/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JM/JMASON/ 
Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.0.tar.gz ok
Scanning cache /private/var/root/.cpan/build for sizes

Currently fighting with a project I bid low since it would be simple 
(we've all done that).  DMX in, dual stepping motors out (color and 
dowser for a building exterior illuminator).  I used a processor at 
the very low end of the series I normally use.  Then I start having 
the ICE crash.  Several conference calls with the chip manufacturer, 
e-mails/calls with the ICE programmer and other tools people, still 
don't know exactly what's wrong.  :(

I did manage to get a demo version working for the client to show to 
the big boss who's arriving in this country shortly and wants to see 
something working.  :)

The life of a hardware/software guy...

No problem, just wait until I start hitting you up for DMX hardware tips 
and tricks.  :)

Some mirrors appear to have a sync interval of 24 hours.  Which is 
semi-reasonable given that it can take upwards of 8 hours for an 
uploaded module to appear anywhere in CPAN.
