Hi all,
I would like to formally suggest that we take our -dbg packages and put
them in a split repository, such as system-debug and user-debug.
Non-stratum 1 mirrors could choose whether or not to mirror these as
well. This would take a significant amount of disk space pressure off
of stratum 2/3 mirrors.
Output for:
du -b *-dbg-*.apk | awk 'BEGIN { s = 0; } { s += $1; } END { print s; }'
system/ppc: 1853417479
system/ppc64: 1877177133
user/ppc: 1.73955e+10
user/ppc64: 1.9961e+10
So, the overall size reduction would be about 20 GB per architecture.
Consider that for ppc64, the entirety of system/ is 3.8G; user/, 28G.
Please respond with any thoughts or comments.
Best,
--arw
