+<PRE>Wolfgang Bornath a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> 2010/10/22 Olivier Thauvin&lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">nanardon at nanardon.zarb.org</A>&gt;:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> In fact we have no way to deny to someone to do a partial mirror. The
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> question is from our point of view, do we encourage people to create
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> non testable mirror or untrusted mirror (not update enough to ensure
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> last security update get sync).
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> It also make difficult the listing (eg having a gazillon of url for each
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> distrib, which is the current problem of easyurpmi).
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I think this is an easy one. Do it like it was done at Mandriva.
+</I>&gt;<i> Define what a &quot;valid&quot; mirror is, then list only &quot;valid&quot; mirrors.
+</I>&gt;<i> Besides that people can put up mirrors in any way they want and use
+</I>&gt;<i> them in any way they want. They are just not listed as &quot;official
+</I>&gt;<i> mirrors of Mageia&quot;.
+</I>&gt;<i> Same happened with our Mandriva mirror. I wouldn't mirror the /debug
+</I>&gt;<i> branches, so I was told that my mirror was not official and it was
+</I>&gt;<i> taken from the list. Everybody was happy, the maintainers of the list,
+</I>&gt;<i> me, and all people who used my mirror (it was not crowded, even at
+</I>&gt;<i> release time). A solution suitable for everybody.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+Excellent point. As you say, a solution suitable for everyone.
+Although for elements which are unlikely to be useful and take up a lot
+of space, it could still be useful to exclude them from the mirrors.
+
+A variation of this could be, for mirrors constrained by disk space, to
+not keep as many older releases. For example, suppose releases are
+every 6 months, supported for 3 years, for 6 supported releases. Some
+mirrors might only keep 4 releases, or maybe 2, and still be considered
+official mirrors by Mageia.
+This would be workable, as long as Mageia required a reasonable minimum
+of releases.
+(I would say at least 2.)
+Of course, Mageia would have to specify which mirrors only contained
+some supported releases.
+
+my 2 cents :)
