They are considering it but want to know exactly how much space is needed. With the sponsership of storage array they would be willing to mirror any and all of ftp.opensuse.org and ftp.suse.com.
First point them to http://en.opensuse.org/Mirror_Infrastructure
Indeed information on how large things are might be usefull information. Perhaps not each and every bit and byte, but generall ballpark figures.
The above link is where I had them look and then they requested a guess for the amount of space that is needed. I tried to guess about 60 GB combined (per release for both ftp.suse.com and ftp.opensuse.org). With all the alpha's and beta's and such. I thought it was mentioned on some mail list or IRC meeting but could not find it.
Just an idea. Each directory has a directory.yast file. Could this be used and put the size in there? Or perhaps some information about size on the above link?
I think we really need to get a good idea on the size. I wish that link
had it.
Thanks,
