1 Hi folks,
2
3 This is sounding the waters for some releng plans.
4
5 First of all, /experimental/beta/. This would be a beta release of every
6 arch, some time before the final release was made. Presently estimated
7 about the same size as a release (2006.1 was 11.8Gb, 2007.0 was 10.3Gb,
8 2008.0 is estimated around the same 10Gb mark).
9 You'd be welcome to exclude it if you didn't want it on your mirror.
10 Yay/Nay?
11
12 Second is a bit of a pie-in-the-sky thing, but it's going to be a DVD
13 image and a bunch of related tarballs. Also under /experimental
14 somewhere, for another ~4.5Gb.
15
16 On sizes for /releases, /releases is going to be shrinking another 3Gb
17 or so, as the last arches lose their 2006.0 stuff when 2008.0 is close
18 at hand.
