'Nuff said. > The catch is, of course, the reliable generation of the serial number > files. That's where existing practice on ftp-master makes this hard. > How about a "built in rule" like if no serial number file "DONT TRANSFER THE MODULE". That way if I'm updating say 5.2-RELEASE iso's or something, I just rm the serial number file for that module, update the stuff needing changes, then when done create the serialno file & the ites will get it on the next sync. > Is this a good idea?
