1 Salutations to all mirror administrators.

3 jforman has been busy with real life, so some of the other infra folk
4 are stepping in to help him out with getting this going.
5
6 As with previous releases, don't distribute this information beyond this
7 list quite yet, just to avoid hassle.

9 Would all mirrors that carry the experimental tree please see my
10 follow-up email about BitTorrent HTTP-seeding?

12 The overall release size has shrunk by almost 2Gb since 2006.1.
13
14 Full file listing for releases and experimental is attached.

16 Rough size breakdown:

18 240M releases/alpha

39 In the identical fashion to jforman's previous release work, we're going
40 to pre-stage our mirrors, starting with the smallest architectures and
41 ending with the big ones, followed by checking up on things, and then
42 flipping the bit later.
43
44 As always, many thanks for your ongoing support of Gentoo, all of us
45 really appreciate it.
