Where did you get that number? Did you really compile everything in the |
| 9 |
tree? Well, I don't think that's needed. I use FEATURES="buildpackage" |
| 10 |
on all my machines. My headless server uses 1.2 GB, my workstation with |
| 11 |
GNOME, KDE 4.2 and stuff like firefox, tunderbird, octave, openoffice |
| 12 |
and much more uses 6.0 GB and my second, more minimal desktop uses 1.7 |
| 13 |
GB. I did not run eclean-pkg in a while, so that should be much more |
| 14 |
than I really need. |

So, if you start with, say, some basic i686 profile and really basic |
| 17 |
CFLAGS and not build too much stuff (Desktop environments, FF, TB, OOo) |
| 18 |
it should not use too much diskspace. From there it would be really |
| 19 |
interesting to share packages, I think. We definitively have some |
| 20 |
packages, that do not depend on architecture. If somebody wants to have |
| 21 |
different USE-flags it would be interesting to just build the packages |
| 22 |
with the different USE-flags again, not everything. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
In my opinion, the ultimate goal would be to provide software that any |
| 25 |
organization running Gentoo Linux (a school, university, company) could |
| 26 |
set up their own buildserver and either let other people mirror that |
| 27 |
once a day or something (minimizing traffic) or provide the packages to |
| 28 |
anybody who wants them on a server. Sometimes these organizations will |
| 29 |
employ Gentoo developers or the responsible guy there will become one, |
| 30 |
then he could set up some infrastructure to sign packages and they |
| 31 |
could be trusted. |
