It is not about speedups at all, it is about easy/wise/sane/safe synchronizing cdimage/testing/ dir on gluck with our local tree. I dont want to download file by file again and again if it has not been updated at the server side. We want to rsync (cron) all of these files frequently and at one shot because (with no any browsing needed) there are different users here which choose to test different files... I don't see how I sync gluck dirs thru http now ... wget -m and such are not suitable at all ;-) ... and we want to fetch ISO files from gluck for those who "dont know"/"dont want"/"cannot"/ use jigdo-lite... again rsync will save our time/energy/efforts/etc. > Anyway, I really just produce the images, I cannot say what needs to be in > the machine, rsync has been requested several times, maybe we should ask > the admins :-? Right... And Thanks for the Great Work of you, I just suggest that rsyncd will make the distribution of these files to the users much more efficient. > > I also have some problems with ftp.fsh.hu files, some jigdo .templates > > are still ~>600MB ... just to mention some of them: > > Well, I cannot tell you anything about those images. Yes I know that, I just inform you that I choose fsh.hu instead of gluck even with those broken big files present there. I fact I browse the debian-unofficial ftp folder on ftp.fsn.hu and --exclude them as well before every single rsync session... but gluck holds more fresh jigdo files especially for testing of d-i... -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <keyserver.bu.edu ; pgp.mit.edu> fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
