Once The final release is out, I'll basically do on the server:

If you could do this at the right time as hardlinks to the factory tree that would be really smart. In that case all mirror servers that have the factory
Factory and our 10.1 tree are not hardlinked, they are internally different. So, it's not possible to do this. I tried to persuade our build guys to sync factory and 10.1 so that it would be hardlinks - but then we would need to sync after the release of 10.1 factory completely :-(
tree could sync without any extra file to transfer saving about 30GB net transfer per mirror server.
Suppose Eberhard would agree with me here.
Everybody would - but it does not fit into the way we work, where we have separate 10.1 and "FACTORY" trees - even if those have the same sources, just are build separately, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
