~ clean up archive and mirror registration The little hack of naming archives with "-MIRROR" or "-SOURCE" is fundamentally lame. We plan to clean up the database of registered archives so that you can have one record that lists all the locations for a given archive and enumerates the mirroring relationshipsamong them.
Thank you, thank you! I've done some work on cleaning this stuff up, but there's a lot of code that uses the registered name when the official name would be The Right Thing. And users just don't get it. People are constantly registering archives with the wrong name, or getting from a foo-SOURCE. Even I'm sometimes confused about the best name to use in some error messages.
