Bug Description
Hi,
Currently we give LP 10 minutes leeway for clock skew (against itself, not against us).
icommon.
if last_known_
We should allow more than this.
This will increase the load against LP a little, but shouldn't be too much, as it will just
be serialising a few more rows per query, though this will actually require more round
trips if we fetch more pages.
Currently it will also increase the load on the importer, as we will keep seeing the same
publications repeatedly. We should however rely on the fact that LP should never publish
the same name/version in a series/pocket twice. It will be very rare that this happens, if
ever. We could perhaps be more robust by checking source publication ids, rather than
name/version pairs, however I don't know if these will be reused as well in those rare cases.
Thanks,
James

The reason for this is that we missed the publication of a new puppet package, and this is
the only hole I know for how that could have happened.
Thanks,
James
