</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Hi,
</I>&gt;<i> ...
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Now come the question: &quot;what is a valid mirror ?&quot;, eg, what a mirror
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; should have as file to be valid ?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Some ideas (probably silly ;)).
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Why don't you split mirrors in 2 categories:
</I>&gt;<i> - Software (RPM) repo mirrors, available for network install or urpmi.
</I>&gt;<i>   (distrib+people+software).
</I>&gt;<i> - ISO mirrors. Avaliable for torrenting or ftp. MDV2010.1 release isos are
</I>&gt;<i>   about 15Gb. With 2 releases per year, thats 30Gb per year, 200 Gb on 6
</I>&gt;<i>   years. Some places can just mirror this...you lower the 700Gb to 500,
</I>&gt;<i>   not bad.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> so mirroring can be done by version (or was this what you wanted to avoid?).
</I>
Yes, I tried to avoid it because I perfectly know mirrors will take care
to mirror new version every 6 months (ibiblio example again, nobody had
a look for several years, at least since 2008).

&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> BTW
</I>&gt;<i> &lt;nitpickin&gt;
</I>&gt;<i> - could you kill the final 's' on all the names ? 
</I>&gt;<i>   distribs -&gt; distrib
</I>
Done

&gt;<i>   iso (you didnt named it 'isos')
</I>&gt;<i>   peoples -&gt; people
</I>
Done

&gt;<i>   software (not softwares)
</I>
Is already 'software'

&gt;<i> - could you not mix case in names (SRPMS &lt;-&gt; x86_64), just srpms...
</I>
This part depend on BS and how this team working on it will organise the
distrib. I'll suggest them.

&gt;<i> - could be the arch names more uniform ? in my personal scripts/setups
</I>&gt;<i>   I use x86-32 and x86-64. Moreover, perhaps in a not so near future some
</I>&gt;<i>   adventurous soul builds Mageia on ARM or Sparc, so why not sort things
</I>&gt;<i>   like
</I>&gt;<i>     distrib/cauldron/srpm
</I>&gt;<i>     distrib/cauldron/x86/32/iso
</I>&gt;<i>                            /rpm
</I>&gt;<i>                         /64
</I>&gt;<i>                     /arm/32
</I>&gt;<i>                         /64
</I>&gt;<i>                     /sparc/32
</I>&gt;<i>                           /64
</I>
This depend again on BS part.

&gt;<i>   The drawback is that ISOs are in the same tree so no separate mirroring
</I>&gt;<i>   is possible, but I think you didn't want this anyways.
</I>
I'll take care to this.

&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> All this renaming in case it is not some kind of standard for tree layout
</I>&gt;<i> or the like...
</I>&gt;<i> &lt;/nitpickin&gt;
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Just my 2&#8364;cent, you will judge...
</I>&gt;<i>
