> Ipfs cluster has some kind of leader election mechanism, right? I was thinking "run the sync on whichever is the leader, and then update the dnslink directly to the resulting /ipfs/… path." Then again, this begs the question whether the dns servers at ovh.com are updateable in a HA manner…

As far as I understand there's no leader decision, but a leading version decision in the cluster. So if there's concurrent writes, the writes will eventually merge to one leading head.

But I heaven't really digged into that. Maybe it's possible to find out who did the last write to the cluster.

But we don't want to find the last write, but the last write of the root-folder for pkg.pacman.store.

But I don't think we need the cluster for this at all. Two server can just concurrently write to the cluster and at the end check if the IPNS is up to date. If not they publish an update.

This is currently not possible due to https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/6683
