[solicited suggestions for iitm mirror]
ubuntu and freebsd seem to be viable additions (there were also suggestions
for
alternate architectures like ppc, arm etc; it would be a stretch for me to
justify - remember, the mirror is primarily a resource for iitm and we dont
mind
sharing the contents with others as long as the bandwidth is available). i
dont
use ubuntu or freebsd, so i need some help with pruning the contents - the
ubuntu mirror is around 100gb and freebsd is over 300gb. in contrast, our
current debian mirror is about 45gb, centos is about 25gb and others like
fedora, redhat, mandrake etc are around 10-12 gb each. if some kindly soul
would
suggest as to what i can prune from the freebsd and ubuntu trees, i can get on
this. please dont make conceptual suggestions like exclude all but 386
architecture - give me something that applies directly to the distribution in
question (if you want to be really kind, give me a set of excludes for use in
rsync). lets make the mirror more useful.
