We actually use nomirror pretty extensively on the games team. We have quite a few mods/games that come in at over 500MB. There's even a couple at over 1GB. I can tell you that if we loosened the nomirror on those, we would need at least another 20GB of mirror space just for the added games-* distfiles. So how about we leave it a bit more open for interpretation? --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-CF2NBoOldIBBkgmJtZ2v Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCe9zDkT4lNIS36YERAiNQAJ9mTttyWlEb+AXxj5DflG4fZxP/mwCeM/Xk eeZOmFj5de+b5b5ZcthZV4o= =ci/T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-CF2NBoOldIBBkgmJtZ2v-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
