...and you speak for the mirror admins and their space constraints, correct? This would add quite a bit of space to the mirrors. The average stage3 tarball is about 100MB. So you can assume that the packages would equal about the same. Multiply this by the number of releasing arches, and possibly even subarches, and you have an additional 1GB just from x86/ppc. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
