Because the author of drpmsync does not like the idea of a drpmsync client that can use various non-drpmsync servers to balance the load I have now implemented a first prototype myself. The only thing this client needs from a drpmsync server is the contents file. After it got this file he can do everything else with any rsync, ftp, or http server that does mirror the original drpmsync tree including the deltas. Obviously there is a problem when the mirror server is out of date but this is not really a problem because a final run with the official drpmsync client can then fix up these minor glitches.
I am now trying to catch up again with the current state of the factory distribution with this client. If this works fine I will publish this client for anyone interested.
