[opensuse] Total Directory Size - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories
Hi. I am new to this mailing-list. I am considering having a private mirror of the entire /repositories directory from download.opensuse.org; and I need to know - what is the total size (i.e. including all files for all architectures) of the /repositories directory? Thank you to everyone on the mailing-list.

I suspect you will have better luck asking on opensuse-buildservice@opensuse.org. That is where discussions about that part of the infrastructure take place. You may be able to post to that without subscribing. Some of the more technical opensuse mailing lists allow that and I don't know if opensuse-buildservice@opensuse.org is one or not. This is the end users mailing list. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If you try mirroring this, I think you will find it something like 20G per release. IIRC it was about 8G for a total mirror of the repos in the SuSE 10 days, and I think I checked once in the 11.2 timeframe and it had ballooned to over 30G. So it is considerable storage. A better solution is to set up a local repository by setting 'keeppackages=1' in each of your zypper repository definitions and then create a local repository from the rpms you actually use on a local server with 'create-repo'. I have a very old page that outlines how to do this. It is out of date, but the basic concept is the same.
