So.... What is this unified across all platforms srpm repo you speak
of, and how does it differ from what we've been doing internally for
about 4 years? ;o)
Digging back through my rss feeds it was this post to p.f.o from Jesse
http://jkeating.livejournal.com/14754.html
Ahhh, I see. I'm refering to the src.rpm's that are /input/ into the
buildsystem to build the OS on all arches. I didn't realize the SRPMS
disks we made had different contents per-architecture due to this on
the /output/ side of things. ;o)
Yes, it would definitely be smart to have one ginormic SRPMS disk. ;)
As a total side-question though, just for personal curiousity...
1) How many people actually download the SRPMS disk images?
2) How many people actually really use them for anything?
I always wondered that, because a long time ago, I used to download
them all and burn them, until I realized that I never actually ever
used them. ;o) I always downloaded the latest src.rpm from the
ftp server if I needed it, as that way I ensured I was using the
latest one.
I suppose the answer likely varies by global location, and the
cost of internet access in any particular place though.
Anyhoo... back to your regularly scheduled program... ;)
