Fwd: How to prevent uploads of broken packages

[Tom Horsley]

The problem I see much more often than broken packages is yum
picking a mirror that is only partially updated and has
inconsistent versions of things on it. Often I can
try an update a 2nd time, get a different mirror,
and everything works fine.

If there was some way the mirrors could talk to yum about
their current update status so yum could pick mirrors
that were in a consistent state, that would help too.
