Hi,
I'm considering setting up a local distfiles and portage mirror here in
the office. Bandwidth volumes from updates during the day are starting
to make the network admin nervous. But first I need some current
numbers, does anyone know approximate answers to these questions:
1. How big is a complete the distfiles mirror currently?
2. On average, how much daily bandwidth to keep it up to date?
3. How much daily bandwidth does updating the portage tree use?
I wouldn't bother with a full mirror. Set a local rsync server that
updates once a day and use http-replicator. That would be far less
bandwidth than trying to keep a local dist server current.
