I've been watching this discussion as far as tree size, and i'm suprised |
| 2 |
nobody has brought the idea of on-demand downloading yet. |

I don't see the point of having to run rsync every night. Portage should |
| 5 |
auto-download ebuilds when it needs them. I don't think I use even 5% of the |
| 6 |
ebuilds in portage. It's a total waste of space. It's a total waste of |
| 7 |
bandwidth. It makes me feel hurt inside, that my bandwidth is being |
| 8 |
squandered. |

Though, half the fun of gentoo is watching pages after pages of confusing |
| 11 |
compile/rsync/etc. data scroll by nightly. |

With all the bandwidth we would save, we could make a little gentoo anthem mp3 |
| 14 |
download and play while the user is emerging. Something like "Ride of the |
| 15 |
Valkyries" mixed with "C&C Music Factory". |

Let's start the flame war :) |
