Subject: [gentoo-dev] To big "files"-dir solution
Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2003 20:57:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200307202057.34909.lanius@gentoo.org> (raw)
Hi,
As the files dir grows more and more and already big files (>20k or something
like that) are move to distfiles, I thought of a relative simple and
efficient solution for this.
You could leave all files in the "files"-dir (even big one). Now the rsync
master mirror makes a tgz out of the files dir, removes it and moves the tgz
to the distfiles or another location. Before emerging a package Portage
downloads the files.tgz from the mirror and extracts it to its usual
directory.
This would only add 3 or 4 lines of portage code, but would remove about
20.000 files from /usr/portage.
mfg, Heinrich :)
