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 a bit ahead of schedule. |

== Progress == |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
- Implemented metadata storage (called DeltaDB in my code), with |
| 13 |
information about the deltas and the files used on it. |
| 14 |
- Reimplemented some bits of the diff generator class. |
| 15 |
- Reimplemented some small snippets of code, based on ferringb's suggestions. |
| 16 |
- Created the homepage: http://dev.gentoo.org/~rafaelmartins/distpatch/ |
| 17 |
- Requested a git repo in git.o.g.o (pending) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
== Next steps == |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
- Finish the integration of DeltaDB with existing code. |
| 22 |
- Finish the implementation of the delta reconstructor script. |
| 23 |
- Cut some deltas to generate stats. |

I'll need to travel tonight to deliver some documentation at my uni. |
| 26 |
I'll be partially available during the day and available at the night, |
| 27 |
until this Wednesday. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
That's all for now. |
