HI all, As of late Sysadmin has been assessing what components of our infrastructure are in active use and should be maintained going forward.
As part of this it has come to our attention that the repository tarballs offered by our anongit network (tar.gz files of our repositories essentially) are effectively unused - with only 19 hits being received by one mirror in the space of a week. These tarballs are generated by cronjob once per week, and are effectively a duplicate copy of the repositories which must be held by each anongit. Removing them will reduce the resources needed and maintenance complexity involved to operate an anongit mirror, as well as reducing load on the main git.kde.org server which generates the tarballs. If anyone has any objection please let us know. Regards, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin
