It's the actual changeover process that scares the bejesus out of us. Many of our mirrors have diligent, professional admins who will work with us to make the change. Some of our other mirrors don't. It's easy to say, "well, screw those others, then" except when you consider that our users will be the ones to feel the pain if a mirror doesn't pick up on the change (or support the necessary sym/hard linking mojo to make it work) If we can come up with a seamless, painless transition process, great, let's make it happen. --kurt --cxMSjUqMQBJIqbX5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEDFz+JPpRNiftIEYRAiYJAKCElRGk4m3DZRCHUrMhONmWmC6FEQCfV7oE 2M+7WmmY6uIdMSPIB7GCNwk= =F5qO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --cxMSjUqMQBJIqbX5-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
