I can poll a file on openqa.opensuse.org and do a factory-tested snapshot when it contains the content of /factory/repo/oss/media.1/build - this is really peanuts.
What's not peanuts: this is several GB more to host and mirror. Not a big
Actually if this is a previously already mirrored out release, this can be done with hardlinking the current state into the snapshot release. Even if is is not 100% the same as the already mirrored state, this would still cut most of the bandwidth. rsync can also handle hardlinks, so the mirroring should not be that big of a problem. Of course, over time, when the unstable repo gets changed, on-disk space requirements will rise as the hardlinks will get broken. I'm not sure if the bandwidth or the disk space is the problem, though. -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
