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 still a bit ahead of schedule. |

== Progress == |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This week I ran some tests in vulture... Tests performed well, but I |
| 13 |
stopped in some corner cases, that I'm solving. Started writing |
| 14 |
portage patches in parallel. Nothing usable yet. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
On the personal side, I defended my bachelor thesis today, and I'm |
| 17 |
almost an Engineer now (just need to do some fixes on the final text |
| 18 |
for print, and present my internship report before I became a "full" |
| 19 |
Engineer) :D |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
== Next steps == |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Fix the corner cases, until get a full tree run for distdiffer. Finish |
| 24 |
patching portage. |

Best regards, |
