Replying to [comment:7 adrian]:
There is a plan to use it with mirrormanager. The code from the link
above (umdl2) is not yet active, but it is planned to be used (adding pingou for that).
Some mirrors are also using it to check if rsync should actually run
over the whole tree or if nothing has changed.
Recently there was some discussion on the mirror-list how to create that
file better/faster. Adding smooge as he was involved in the discussions/results.
I was on that thread, the issue is that the way that particular mirror is working iwth it only works in a world where we do not hardlink content. the user complained that we are using a lot more disk. the reson he is seeing that is entirely due to not using hardlinking and how he mirrors the content. in my mind it is a broken use case.
