<nus> cvs [update aborted]: connect to gentoo.org(64.57.168.198):2401 |
| 4 |
failed: Connection refused. Do you have any idea what' going on? |
| 5 |
<kibosh> yes, we're no longer offering anoncvs |
| 6 |
<kibosh> it was too much of a resource drain. |
| 7 |
<nus> but gentoo-src is only 7MB, why? |
| 8 |
<nus> so many people interested in the build system? :-/ |
| 9 |
<kibosh> cvs is a resource hog |
| 10 |
<nus> any other means to get at the sources? is there an rsync server |
| 11 |
with them? |
| 12 |
<kibosh> we need to get them on sourceforge so it doesn't drain *our* |
| 13 |
resources. |
| 14 |
<kibosh> our single server just can't handle it. |
| 15 |
<kibosh> and we have very limited bandwidth. |
| 16 |
<nus> well, there seem to be some rsync servers across the world already |
| 17 |
offering the distro, why not push sources through them? |
| 18 |
<kibosh> could be do-able. |
| 19 |
<kibosh> post your request to gentoo-admin@g.o |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
So, could that please be arranged? |
