Hi
I've talked about the FG data repository to Johan, the main guy behind
gitorious, and in his own words:
"Diskspace in itself isn't so bad, it's really more about the
bandwidth. How active do you think the repository ends up being? "
It's difficult to come up with such an estimate.
Any idea?
But if bandwidth becomes a problem, we could provide read-only clones of the
fgdata repository.
git://source1.flightgear.org/fgdata
git://source2.flightgear.org/fgdata
..
which pull automatically from the main repo.
In fact, 3 repos on mapserver.flightgear.org could easily be setup to
mirror gitorious.org instead of CVS.
And in the end, gitorious already hosts Qt, I'd be surprised that we require
more bandwidth than that!
