> additionally... on the serverside the torrents could be created at > every repo generation time. (to be discussed) Everyone should remember we're talking about torrents for: updates updates-testing extras not just one place. It would mean updated torrents nearly EVERY single day. I think we'd be better off working on a tool that made it possible for joe-user to mirror a repository using the http/ftp mirrors already in existence w/o needing access to an rsync server. Just so happens Rudolf and I were talking about that today on irc. I already had some of the code implemented. I'll post a quasi-working version here in a bit to see if it would be useful to continue working on. It uses the yum repo definitions to download all the packages listed in the metadata. Of course it checks to download only the packages you haven't already downloaded. which means it could be almost as effective for an end user to make their own copy of the mirror w/o having to rsync. It doesn't have the sharing advantages of bittorrent but it handles massive and frequent updates a bit better than bittorrent would. -sv -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
