Hey all,

Just had a chat with our main contact with OSU for mirrors. Apparently
someone (looks like the ppc folk), uploaded about 6-7G to the mirrors
without letting Infra know about it. Generally, if you're going to push
out a lot of files out, we'd like to know so we can prep our mirror
admins on the big push. The mirror at OSU was getting hammered because
we didn't know about this till it happened.

So all who use experimental, please let us know when you're going to
push something out. Jeff Forman (jforman) is the contact lead for infra.
Either email him, me or Kurt if you're going to push anything more than
a few hundred megs I'm guessing. It would also help space-wise if
there's old stuff on experimental that needs to be deleted. Just let any
three of us know if you need to clean out your arch's experimental
files. 

Thanks!

> <Pylon> pvdabeel: How many space do we need for 2004.3?
> <pvdabeel> Pylon: at least 5G
> <Pylon> pvdabeel: For stages, ISOs and GRP, right?
> <pvdabeel> yep
> <pvdabeel> asking infra to put it in experimental
> <pvdabeel> or releases - who knows ;-)
> <pvdabeel> Pylon: I've asked in #gentoo-mirrors
> <pvdabeel> Pylon: could you ask klieber? Who knows politely asking might 
help
> <pvdabeel> Pylon: jforman is working on it
> <pvdabeel> Pylon: jforman suggests experimental?
> <Pylon> pvdabeel: What should we do into experimental?
> <pvdabeel> Pylon: we put 2004.2 there
> <Luke-Jr_> Pylon: so 2004.1 LiveCD's should be fine
> <Pylon> pvdabeel: So, we should put the ISOs in experimental?
> <pvdabeel> and update the message in the release directory to mention 
experimental
> <Pylon> pvdabeel: Ah 2004.2 for the time until 2004.3 is out?
> <pvdabeel> yep
> --- big snip ---
> <spyderous> hm, which stage do i use?
> <spyderous> g4, i assume
> <Pylon> spyderous: g4 -- or a testing 2004.3-stage.
> <Pylon> spyderous: Like 
http://dev.gentoo.org/~pvdabeel/2004.3/stage1-ppc-20040926.tar.bz2
> <spyderous> why don't you guys stick those in experimental
> <Pylon> spyderous: Oh, we just got the information from infra today, that we 
are "allowed" to use experimental.
> <spyderous> of course you're allowed to use it.
> <Pylon> spyderous: Currently it's uploading to experimental.
> <Pylon> spyderous: If you ask klieber, then not...  Probably his mind 
changed lately.
> <Pylon> Nevertheless.  It's solved now.
> <spyderous> probably because infra was getting a thousand emails asking wtf 
happened to all the ppc releases
> <Pylon> Probably.  And our self-organised two mirrors are also down now.
> <Pylon> And the sooner we are about to release 2004.3 the more is asked for 
2004.2 in this channel.  It's a kind of being annoyed.
