Looking at the numbers you provided, i think we should seperate the |
| 19 |
mirrors into two groups: Binary and Source. Binary mirrors would provide |
| 20 |
GRPs and ISOs, and source mirrors will only provide distfiles. Mirrors |
| 21 |
could provide both, of course. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
In the short term, there won't be too many binary mirrors (freeing almost |
| 24 |
17 gigs of free space is tempting), so we should encourage mirrors that |
| 25 |
are high on diskspace to mirror both source and binary. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
In the long term, this could also rise the numbers of mirrors, as mirror |
| 28 |
provideres will need to 'waste' less disk space on the gentoo mirror (if |
| 29 |
they choose to only mirror one type, that is). |
