Subject: [gentoo-dev] (crazy?) proposal to reduce load and disk on mirrors
Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2003 09:35:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F1F8C28.7050807@ifi.uio.no> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20030723194823.GJ9959@mail.lieber.org>
There has been some discussion lately about how to reduce disk usage on
mirrors. Some programs (typically games) takes a lot of space and must
be stored in the portage-tree due to lack of good host-sites on their own.
How about implementing a file-sharing propram taylored for gentoo? Users
could voluntarily share their /usr/portage/distfiles, or whatever would
benefit mirrors. This would potentially let us keep huge (gaming-)files
on their (faulty) hosts. When the original host is down, there would
probably already be some users online which have a copy and is sharing it.
Ok, I guess this might be a rather stupid proposal. I don't expect any
supportive comments. Just had to get it off my chest -) Flames are
nevertheless welcome.
