1 Hey Guys,
2
3 We (Gentoo) is coming out with a new project, called seeds [1] that
4 provide 'out of the tarball' installs for certain functions (like a LAMP
5 or mythtv) server. Thing is, the project has requested about 5GB of space
6 on our mirrors to push out their wares.
7
8 Do any of you guys who run distfile mirrors have any problem handling 5GB
9 of more data? I will be cleaning out the old releases in the next week or
10 so since Gentoo Linux 2006.1 has been out for several weeks, which should
11 provide breathing room for those who do not mirror historical.
12
13 Just shoot an email out (reply to all please, so infrastructure people get
14 a glimpse of how you all feel) about if you can handle it, or if 5GB would
15 be the straw that broke the camel's back.
16
17 Thanks for the support, Gentoo truly appreciates the work you do allowing
18 us to handle new projects.
