I'm in favor of creating an archive.fp.o server to hold the "historical" releases (e.g. everything no longer supported, so real soon now, FC5 and earlier) and nuke those from the master. We could decide to keep N-3 (e.g. one extra no-longer-supported release on the master if we wanted to. IANAL, but the GPL is satisfied as long as we post source for the same time span as we post the binaries. The "three year" clause only kicks in if we don't distribute the source at the same time but instead give a written offer - which we don't do. -- Matt Domsch Software Architect Dell Linux Solutions linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux Linux on Dell mailing lists @ http://lists.us.dell.com ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list

It's irrational and impractical to keep permuting the distribution. Also, when can previous releases be removed?

Disk space requirements
Just some stats I ran on the current data posted for the mirrors. Everything (Core + Extras, FC 1 through 6, 7test[12], development, updates, repodata): 492GB FC1: 21.5GB FC2: 35.5GB FC3: 33.1GB FC4: 52.4GB FC5: 69.6GB FC6: 77.5GB development: 50.8GB FC+E6/i386: 22.6GB FC+E6/ppc: 23.5GB FC+E6/x86_64: 24.4GB FC+E6/source: 5.1GB FC6test2: 26.8GB so we're already expecting mirrors to carry ~25GB per arch per release or thereabouts. If we continue with 3 arches, 2 releases per year, that's at least 150GB per year growth. If we add arches, Unity respins, more CD/DVD objects, and the like, it'll grow faster. -Matt -- Matt Domsch Software Architect Dell Linux Solutions linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux Linux on Dell mailing lists @ http://lists.us.dell.com ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
