Stupid question, but the master mirroring setup actually holds onto=20 files after it moves them off of the gentoo mirror tier- purgatory=20 dir. Why not just make that dir accessible via web/torrent/whatever on=20 a seperate server? Abusing osprey for it is a bit much (mainly infra=20 has asked to wipe files from the purgatory dir in the past, which is a=20 no go), so seperate probably is wise. Further filtering of the files to those under gpl (pulled from pkg=20 metadata) is doable, just would need to mangle mirror-dist a bit to=20 maintain long term info about who owned what (instead of it's current=20 "out of sight, out of the db" approach). Just a thought- machinery is mostly there, might as well abuse it. ~harring --2oS5YaxWCcQjTEyO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEq7xWvdBxRoA3VU0RApysAJ4+e5fOdaUhcUycg/vIe8JEMbkQJACgks8S 5bOI6CdYJE1p5bNNCacqBlY= =xFkS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2oS5YaxWCcQjTEyO-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
