Hello all,
Am seriously considering mirroring testing for myself (faster updates,
installs etc due to having several computers) but due to only having a
512k download ADSL, can't share it out, and want to check if the
bandwidth is good enough. How much update (as in size) on average
occurs each day / each week? Which would be best, mirror every night,
or mirror every week night? Also reading the mirror help file, it
mentions each distro can be between 5 to 8GB each - how much space
should I reserve for testing?
Do you really need *all* of testing? If you are only looking at having
up-to-date packages for a LAN, I would look at apt-proxy. It allows you
to direct apt requests through 1 local machine, thus all the LAN
benefits from its cache of packages.
Thanks very much for your help in advance
Cheers - Piers
