Hi, I want to setup a Gentoo Mirror for an install at my local Linux-User-Group (They have only ISDN/64kbit Inet). I did read that docs on this, and whereas the docs for setting up the rsync part of the mirror are ok, information on the distfiles-part isn't that complete. In the docs is mentioned that the distfiles mirror will be around 30-40GB, but in the Forums I read something about 3-4GB. Is there a method to choose just a specific subset of packages? Like "only the highest stable version, if there is no stable, the highest unstable version"? Or should I do something like: for i in /usr/portage do for j in /usr/portage/$i do emerge -f $j; done done
As for the download, it doesn't matter if its 1Gb or 40GB, as I have an agreement with to get local lan access to one of the mirrors. Spida -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
