And sourceforge won't accept hosting all those packages over there. I asked them to host my repository as a SF project and they didn't accept. And my repository is "only" 6 GB with around 700 packages/projects (actually a little over 4500 RPM files). We'll have *many* more packages on the build service's hosting infrastructure, actually order of magnitudes more. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDoz7lr3NMWliFcXcRAj/HAJ0eL/syU+tEytdrQaUtq0Uxb3CUjQCgrK0Z UC6RVXlf6oPg0y2iubIIJPQ= =7CMd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
