This is an update to the rsync script in the parent of this message.
You are referred to the parent and grandparent messages for further
explanation.
Using this script, total 7.2beta tree download is now 971MB, a
considerable saving from a complete download and from the combined
size of the two CD iso9660 image files. This saving for en_GB users
only is the whole point of the exercise.
Note 1 (revised): Since cooker and 7.2beta are running in tandem
until 7.2beta
is frozen, downloading of cooker is no longer done. Caution: This
will cause your entire cooker tree to be deleted, so rsync a copy of
your 7.2beta tree to your cooker tree first before requesting a
cooker rsync download. If you still want cooker, remove the
'--exclude=cooker/ \' line.
Note 2 (revised): the kde-i18n-* locale RPMs and the new
linuxconf-lang-* locale RPMs, the installer's locale po files, and
other non-en locale-specific files are no longer downloaded.
Note 3 (revised): The contrib RPM tree is also downloaded. Present
size is 474MB (worth avoiding if you do not want it). If you do not
want it add a '--exclude=contrib/ \' line.
Note 4: This rsync download script aupports only hard disk installs
with English(UK) language and US international keyboard. It has been
tested only with a customized, install, development, all packages, hd
install.
Note 5 (to be dropped): Mandrake has now corrected.
Note 7 (new): The server has changed to sunsite.uio.no since this
appears to be updated earlier, and gives faster throughput to
Australia (where I am). The transition causes no problems since the
timesatmps are correctly maintained between the two servers.
Good Luck!
