The bad state of Lunar patch mirrors LRESORT

Hello zbiggy,

> Forbidden

thats because "cache" is a symlink to /var/spool/lunar which doesn't 
exist
on that server (gonna ask ratler if I could do something useful there).

alia:/var/www/mirror/fr-de.lunar-linux.org/htdocs/lunar# file cache
cache: broken symbolic link to `/var/spool/lunar'

Lunar's mirror-system assumes a) that everyone hosting such lunar stuff
is running lunar on that mirror box b) /var/spool/lunar always has the
most recent needed patches and apps (which is not the case. some people
might update their lunar mirror just once a year, thus /var/spool/lunar
beeing out-of-date and not useful anyway, who knows?)

However: I wouldn't call that broken. That cache folder is a fallback,
which MIGHT or MIGHT NOT work; the source url
for that patch in DETAILS is:

SOURCE2_URL=http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/packages/iproute2

So what's broken? The might-mightnot fallback or the real source url?
