while waiting for a rsync on one of my computers i noticed |
| 2 |
there are alot of patchs, gzip, and bzip2 files in portage |
| 3 |
alot of which i wouldnt think needs to be there |
| 4 |
x11-base/xfree/files/ for one example |
| 5 |
sys-devel/gcc/files/ for another |
| 6 |
im sure there are other places that are just as bad |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
find /mdhd/gentoo/gentoo-portage/ -name "*.bz2"|wc -l |
| 9 |
159 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
find /mdhd/gentoo/gentoo-portage/ -name "*.gz"|wc -l |
| 12 |
62 |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
even with my local lans rsync mirror serving i think 6 computers currently |
| 15 |
i dont even use half of those bz2 or gz files and im sure similar goes for |
| 16 |
alot of the patchs in the tree |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
i seem to recall there is a script or somethin, or was, that checked sizes |
| 19 |
of files in the tree perhaps it should be expanded to file types |
| 20 |
or better yet watch file counts for files that arent needed |
| 21 |
so whatever isnt a ebuild, digest, manifest, or changelog |
| 22 |
considering how long it takes to scan the tree as it is |
| 23 |
i would think this would help alot |
| 24 |
and im sure the dialup users wouldnt mind not downloading |
| 25 |
stuff they would never use |
