The load isn't insignificant. That and the people providing hosting for dgo mind quite heavily when we use dgo as a distribution point. Add that to the complete lack of redundancy with dgo and you have a recipe for disaster... ;] Think about what the load would be for, say, any KDE patches for the 4 hours between a new KDE going into the tree and the distfiles mirrors picking up the files. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
