Mirroring Archlinux ARM?

[xiaq]

Hi all,
I had just installed Archlinux ARM on my Android smartphone and it feels awesome
Obviously the next thing I did was finding out a nearby mirror site. Viewing /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, there is apparently no mirror site at this moment.
Being a maintainer of a mirror site, I'm considering the possibility of mirroring archlinuxarm.org/arm. Is the site ready to be mirrored (eg. rsync service or like)?
(FYI the mirror site I'm maintaining is http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn. I'm just one of the many maintainers.)

Due to the nature of our packaging system, and frequent automatic updates, there are consideration beyond a simple rsync.

We're almost done with the complete v7h rebuild, and there are a few minor tidbits to finish up, then we'll have the whole system available.

The only major difference that may come along is signed packages in the semi-near future.

Talking with others previously we decided against rsync in favor of an extension to our build system that would distribute packages to mirrors as they were built. This has the benefit of having instant updates to mirrors, and allows us to actually know that mirrors are up to date.

Though I am considering rsync again, just for simplicity. You're looking at around 15-20GB for the v5 and v7 repos combined. If you could tell me more about what resources you have that would be helpful.

Curiosity,
What if one mirror is down when something is to be uploaded, does it catch up later?

[WarheadsSE]

Yes, the system we have designed will have the out-of-date mirror pickup from where it left off.
