[mirror-admin] Large amount of content removed - issue with master mirror or quick-fedora-mirror script?

I'm trimming the CC list; one of those addresses wasn't even valid.

You need just whatever you configure as DESTD.

Basically this thing was (initially) designed to handle full mirrors, so
that those mirrors could get the content as quickly as possible to the
tier 1 hosts where then the hosts that want to pick and chose could do
so.

I have done only a small bit of thinking about how to handle excludes
and it's not particularly simple.  I hadn't actually considered just
letting you specify a list of arches to ignore and maybe a flag to
exclude iso files as well and then generating the necessary greps and
excludes from that.  It may be far more workable, but do keep in mind
that this isn't the primary goal of quick-fedora-mirror at this time.

BTW, it would be super great if you (and anyone else who wants to try
this stuff) could open issues in pagure so that these get tracked.  You
can also see what I have planed and what I'm currently working on.

Oops, that never actually got implemented....  I'll get it done just
after I finish this aborted run recovery thing I'm doing now.

That's odd; q-f-m doesn't even touch anything inside the module
directory.  That's all done by rsync, and it only gets called with DESTD
as the destination, Might be nice to see the exact rsync command line
(run with -d 7).
