Wow! That's a lot. It would be interesting to know how often multiple LFS versions are downloaded. So I've completed my experiment of importing all lfs-packages tarballs into a git repo. I did it by creating a base commit and then branching each version off that commit. I then unpacked all tarballs and patches into a PACKAGES/<version> directory and added that. Some empty dirs and some odd .gitignore files required a second commit to catch them. In an actual creation of this repo I would suggest doing it differently, but that can be discussed. The summary of this experiment: 2143M of lfs-packages tarballs (6.0 - 6.8) become a 600M git repository. The raw numbers are as follows: 133M ../pkgs-tarballs/lfs-packages-6.0.tar 146M ../pkgs-tarballs/lfs-packages-6.1.tar 148M ../pkgs-tarballs/lfs-packages-6.1.1.tar 181M ../pkgs-tarballs/lfs-packages-6.2.tar 198M ../pkgs-tarballs/lfs-packages-6.3.tar 248M ../pkgs-tarballs/lfs-packages-6.4.tar 261M ../pkgs-tarballs/lfs-packages-6.6-rc1.tar 261M ../pkgs-tarballs/lfs-packages-6.6.tar 281M ../pkgs-tarballs/lfs-packages-6.7.tar 286M ../pkgs-tarballs/lfs-packages-6.8.tar --- Wed Sep 28 21:38:42 IST 2011 6.0 441M .git 936M PACKAGES/6.0 post-gc 178M .git --- Thu Sep 29 06:07:26 IST 2011 6.1 365M .git 1.0G PACKAGES/6.1 post-gc 209M .git --- Thu Sep 29 06:41:06 IST 2011 6.1.1 220M .git 1.0G PACKAGES/6.1.1 post-gc 212M .git --- Thu Sep 29 07:12:39 IST 2011 6.2 499M .git 1.2G PACKAGES/6.2 post-gc 269M .git --- Thu Sep 29 07:51:49 IST 2011 6.3 623M .git 1.3G PACKAGES/6.3 post-gc 330M .git --- Thu Sep 29 09:08:25 IST 2011 6.4 852M .git 1.6G PACKAGES/6.4 post-gc 424M .git --- Thu Sep 29 10:44:44 IST 2011 6.6-rc1 872M .git 1.7G PACKAGES/6.6-rc1 post-gc 519M .git --- Thu Sep 29 14:05:40 IST 2011 6.6 526M .git 1.7G PACKAGES/6.6 post-gc 519M .git --- Thu Sep 29 15:04:31 IST 2011 6.7 877M .git 1.9G PACKAGES/6.7 post-gc 573M .git --- Thu Sep 29 16:00:41 IST 2011 6.8 805M .git 1.9G PACKAGES/6.8 post-gc 602M .git --- Note that the .git dir is larger when an lfs-packages containing branch is checked out (I assume for the hidden index branch). I haven't tested yet, but a bare repo is likely around 20M less. I also have not tried a git clone --branch v6.6 --depth 1 file:blah/pkgs.git. That might download a dramatically smaller amount of data. If it does we could create a few branches for each release: v6.6-full, v6.6-book-only-source, v6.6-book-only-pdf, v6.6-book-only-html, v6.6-book-only-nochunks-html, v6.6-packages-only Kevin -- Kevin Lyda Dublin, Ireland US Citizen overseas?
