Hi all |

Quick summary: Improve the performance of the Gentoo Linux mirrors by |
| 4 |
reducing the overall bandwidth load, allowing people to fetch binary |
| 5 |
patches from the mirrors, instead of the full source tarballs, when |
| 6 |
updating some package. This project is partially based on GLEP 25. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
The project is still a bit ahead of schedule. |

== Progress == |

This report is a bit late, sorry. |

Another week I didn't much. I managed the Gentoo booth at FISL12, and |
| 15 |
just come back a few days ago. Unfortunately I can't do much |
| 16 |
gsoc-related from there. |
| 17 |
I let some tests running in vulture, but they failed and I'm |
| 18 |
investigating. for now I just adapted the script to keep running even |
| 19 |
if a delta fail, to see how many correct deltas I can get at all. |

|
| 21 |
== Next steps == |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
In the coming days I'll implement basic logging feature to my scripts, |
| 24 |
to log the fails and stuff, and start patching portage, while the |
| 25 |
tests are running, to spend the time better. |

Best regards, |
