not quite. I actually recreate all the .iso's from the proto files in replica/<package>/proto. The reason is that in some cases, the root/ directories for some contributors contain multiple packages, and I wanted to have one .iso per package. > using hget makes it faster of course, you could > hget from http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib > but that would mean the user/package thing... > centralization sometimes makes things easier. This is kind of a test idea, I decided not to clutter up plan9 site with it. It may make sense to just leave it at sources however. It's easy to. In fact it's there now: contrib/rminnich/package has it all. 9grid.net is on esnet, which is an OC192, which means it has lots of bandwidth for users ... but all the .iso.bz2 in the packages directory originates from sources. thanks ron
