+<PRE>Le jeudi 27 octobre 2011 17:02:53, Pascal Terjan a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; A workaround is necessary. There are two path:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; 1- publish each month a new iso: mageia-1a, mageia-1b, and so on
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; 2- create an iso with updates: mageia-1-upd01, ...
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; In each case, the sources of packages must be updated.
+</I>
+&gt;<i> Each month is not really feasible, as I believe it takes one week of
+</I>&gt;<i> work to build and test an iso.
+</I>&gt;<i> Doing it every 3 or 6 months could be a good idea
+</I>
+I have just made a mirror for i586 and x86_64 with the updates for core,
+tainted and nonfree. The size of each branch is now ~ 4.5Go
+
+upd-mga1/

+4,3G upd-mga1/x86_64/media/core
+229M upd-mga1/x86_64/media/nonfree
+59M upd-mga1/x86_64/media/tainted
+
+Then it is too much to be stored in a cheap DVD.
+IMO, when the size of a branch reaches such a size, an updated release should
+be issued. Remember that a lot of people have a slow link to internet.
+Mandriva did such updated releases which all work better than the original,
+improving the confidence in the distro.
+Today, a woman who has installed Mageia alone and for the first time, said me
+that update is so much long that she thought the distro was broken.
+
+------------------notes------------------------
+
+To setup my local mirror I use the script upd-mga1 which is called by crontab
+# mise &#224; jour des miroirs d'update tous les jours &#224; 5h35
+ 35 4 * * * /home/pierre/bin/upd-mga1 2&gt;&amp;1 &gt; /var/log/upd-mga.log
+ 35 5 * * * /home/pierre/bin/upd-mdv-2010.2 2&gt;&amp;1 &gt; /var/log/upd-mdv.log
+
+I setup the http server:
+# ln -s /home/pierre/mga/upd-1/ /var/www/html/upd-mga1
+
+Then I can use as root the script add-medias-mga on each machine to be updated
+and I unselect the other updates with MCC.
+If the updated machine is not mine, I unselect my mirrors and re-select
+others.
