So people who wish to fork our project will not have the same +problem as we did. + +One of the issue we currently have is the fact we couldn't fork Mandriva +wiki, because we didn't have access to the server. The same goes for +several components ( ideas, maintainers database, full bugzilla dump, +etc ). One of my goal would be to have a forkable infrastructure, so +people can replicate ours ( using puppet/cfengine, as we plan to use ). +( replicate to study, replicate it to play with it, replicate to enhance +it if needed ) + +And this would also provides use with a "linus t" backup system :p + + +><i> This mean everything must exists with this structure under the top level +</I>><i> path. +</I>><i> This way may avoid issues like mandriva on ibiblio (only 2005 and 2007.1 +</I>><i> seems to exists...) +</I>><i> <A HREF="ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandriva/Mandrivalinux/">ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandriva/Mandrivalinux/</A> +</I> +I would let people choose what they mirror based on version. Ie, someone +could mirror the last version only, the 3 last, etc, etc. + +This will likely provides enough flexibility without sacrifing too much +the simplicity. +-- +Michael Scherer + +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="001293.html">[Mageia-dev] Mirror tree structure +</A></li> + + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#1325">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#1325">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#1325">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#1325">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
