RE: [opensuse] Ahain a new version of makeSUSEdvd
I mean add bandwidth of mirrors to torrent. For example I was downloading at 60kb/s from torrent and at 23 kb/s from one mirror. It would be great to combine the source (60+23), I think this could be possible adding mirrors as a torrent node (convincing mirror administrator to install torrent) or developing an application able to use mirrors and torrent together. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Schiele [mailto:rschiele@uni-mannheim.de] Sent: mercoledì 31 agosto 2005 14.59 To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse] Ahain a new version of makeSUSEdvd On Wed, Aug 31, 2005 at 02:52:31PM +0200, ALFANO GIULIO wrote:
Excuse me if my question is stupid, but 4 days ago when I was downloading beta3 from torrent (mirrors was too slow), I was asking myself if it was possible to add opensuse mirrors to torrent. If we could add mirrors to torrent, or similar protocol it would be fantastic.
What exactly do you mean by "add mirrors to torrent"? Robert -- Robert Schiele Tel.: +49-621-181-2214 Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@uni-mannheim.de

Some BitTorrent clients actually can do this. But don't ask me which clients these are. Robert -- Robert Schiele Tel.: +49-621-181-2214 Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@uni-mannheim.de

I think you should have opened an other thread. this one is hudge enough. in two words (in fact, a little more :-), bitorrent allows users to _share_ they own bandwith to the others. any user is also a server, so as many users as much bandwith. jdd -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.net http://arvamip.free.fr

Not only that. Almost nobody seemed to care about the original posting. :-) -- houghi http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs

Thanks. I will just think that it will be OK if nobody complaints. No feedback is good feedback. LOL. -- houghi http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs

Well, the scripts indeed works for creating a DVD ISO, but I think it still has a few bugs, when creating a network install source instead of a DVD ISO. Here is my bug report: If I do the following: makeSUSEdvd -i -s /home/linux/suse100/ -d /home/download/ I get the error: "Not enough free space on /root/DVD_DIR. Space needed is at least 3,169,188 B. You have 1,796,572 B available." although I want no DVD ISO to be created. In addition: makeSUSEdvd -i -s /home/linux/suse100/ -d /home/download/ \ -o /home/download/ gives after some time the following error: ... "/home/download//SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-Beta3-CD2.iso is being mounted and copied on TEMP_DIR. /home/download//SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-Beta3-CD1.iso is being mounted and copied on TEMP_DIR. mv: cannot stat `/root/CD_DIR/media.1': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `/root/CD_DIR/media.1.bak': No such file or directory /root/bin/makeSUSEdvd: line 305: /root/CD_DIR/media.1.bak: No such file or directory /root/bin/makeSUSEdvd: line 306: /root/CD_DIR/media.1.bak: No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `/root/CD_DIR/media.1.bak': No such file or directory" This could be fixed by moving the line MEDIA="$CD_DIR/media.1" to the subroutine ORGANIZE_MEDIA () Hope this helps.

Will change that. Valid point. That is what happens when you have to much space. :-) Must put in a test not to check DVD size if -i is active. Must get it ready for tomorrow. Hope I will get it fixed and that my guests don't mind that I am doing this. Hey, they come around every two months and a new Beta only comes out once a week. I am sure they will understand. <snip>
