What I had envisioned (if we can get it) is a 3 tier distribution system. 1) the primary content on our primary mirror. This will typically be DIRECTLY related to Fedora the OS or EPEL. 2) Secondary content. This would be a place for us to re-distribute the hosted tarballs, spins, videos, etc. This is all that value-added stuff that will behave just as our primary mirror (with a series of other mirrors grabbing content) 3) archives. Far less expensive then the first 2 but does have a lot of storage requirements. As of this morning we actually have 1 and 3[1] taken care of. I'm hopeful 2 will be more visible in the next couple of months though, since it is a donation, I don't want to start making changes and things in case it falls through. I didn't really have a mirrormanager plan for 2 yet though.. mdomsch, any ideas? -Mike _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
