Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
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 on schedule. |

== Progress == |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Last week I rewrote a fair amount of distpatch code, to improve some |
| 13 |
bits for the first release. The codebase is ready for 0.1, I'm just |
| 14 |
cutting some deltas at vulture to see if everything is really ok, and |
| 15 |
to test the Portage patch properly, before send it upstream for |
| 16 |
review. This patch is working fine and can already install packages |
| 17 |
properly from an old distfile + a series of deltas. I also finished |
| 18 |
the required functionality of the helper tool for package managers. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
== Next steps == |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Finish software integration and tests. |
| 23 |
Send Portage patch upstream, finally. |
