I was thinking about this a while ago, and currently the /distfiles/ repository has around 10,000 files. Wouldn't it be a good idea to start thinking about re-organizing it? Right now the apache generated HTML = file is over 2 megs!=20
One thing I was thinking would be to place packages in their portage catagories.
For instance, all of the kernel packages (linux-2.x.y.tar.bz2's) will go into=20 /sys-kernel/
All of the files that the kde ebuilds call for would go in=20 /kde-base/ =20 Any patches for programs could go into either
/patches/sys-kernel (I think this is a prefered method) Or=20 /sys-kernel/patches=20
A couple of obvious problems would be the re-organizing files, but that could be scripted seemingly easily. The problem would be propogating it = to the rest of the distfiles servers. I wouldn't think the ebuilds = themselves would be a problem. You would just need to change
SRC_URI=3D"mirror://gentoo/${P}.tbz2" to SRC_URI=3D"mirror://gentoo/${CATEGORY}/${P}.tbz2"
In any ebuilds that download packages from a distfiles mirror (I've = noticed items like the kernel sources don't)
Anyone else have any pros/cons to such a task?
