# Type is either all, staged or mhop, meaning:
# all - do a "normal" push. Trigger them, go on.
+# This is the default for a Debian mirror. It does all the
+# right things (when the mirror uses ftpsync), like staged-syncing.
# staged - do a two-stage push, waiting for them after stage 2(and all others that
-# are staged) before doing stage2
+# are staged) before doing stage2.
+# Contrary to all, this waits for ALL downstream mirrors
+# marked "staged", so most useful if they are behind a DNS RR
+# and need to update dists/ at near the same time.
# mhop - send a multi-hop staged push. This will tell the mirror to initiate
# a mhop/stage1 push to its staged/mhop mirrors and then exit.
# When all mhop got back we then send the stage2 through to them.
