much ado about storage :: debmirror changes and suggestions.
Today i made som modifications to the rsync-debian cronjob. I added
armel to the list of excluded architectures, and I added installer-$arch
to the list of excluded directories.
the first i hope will save atlest a bit of space, the latter one was
mostly to make it more consistent. don't think it will save more then a
few 100 MB
Reading debian testing changes i can only assume debmirror will keep on
growing. So if these changes are too little perhaps I could suggest
temporarily excluding powerpc as well. ?
I am not sure if there are any real users of powerpc at the moment, but
they'd have to use debian's own mirrors to get main non-free and
contrib. Ofcourse we would not be able to build powerpc images while
it's excluded, but with a full debmirror i dont think we are building
anything successfully anyway. A broken debmirror are also confusing for
users, where .deb's are plain missing from the archive, luckily not many
run lenny/sid from our repo (i hope)
Other then that i hope drift@ could inform us a bit about what the plans
are to obtain more storage ? Or if there is anything we can do to assist
in aquiering more storage.
kind regards
