Just for information, the sage-4.8.alpha3 -> sage-4.8.alpha4 upgrade of the rsyncable tarball needed to transfer 50MB, about 1/6th of a full source download:
[buildbot@eno src]$ rsync -P -v boxen:/home/release/sage-4.8.alpha4/sage-rsync.tar.gz . sage-rsync.tar.gz 378416965 100% 1.29MB/s 0:04:39 (xfer#1, to-check=0/1) sent 135634 bytes received 50029948 bytes 174488.98 bytes/sec total size is 378416965 speedup is 7.54 If we would use "cp -pR" in sage-sdist instead of distutils and mercurial, this could even be 20MB less. (I am not saying we should use cp -pR, I am just annoyed by this fact.) -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
