to me this sounds like we are avoiding the bigger problem at hand. The
grimoire is going to keep growing. Offloading the patches is going
to help for a while. But then what? Seperate sections? what then when
sections get bigger? More sections?
I think we should add code to use rsync against the grimoire. Then we only
update what has changed, thus saving everyone a ton of bandwidth. While
we are at it, we can have additional functionality to rsync the source
off of ibiblio for those of us who want to mirror.
Im not saying do away with the wget method, or abort the prozilla
method either.
I know that Sallee's camp has had rsync for quite some time. Gentoo of
course does also. Not that we are trying to compete, but its obviously 1)
do-able, and 2) more efficient.
