Hi all.<br>We're experiencing some problems with pur repository: after adding some very large files, we're run quickly out of space on the sourcerepo servers (as you can see from the message below).<br>Now we've some possibilities:<br>
<ol><li>Upgrade the sourcerepo space. As you can see from <a href="http://sourcerepo.com/">http://sourcerepo.com/</a>, we can upgrade to level 2 or level 3 to have, respectively, 1Gb or 3Gb of storage. Will this be enough?</li>
<li>Move the repository to another server. Now that we've the slicehost VPS we could try to move the GIT repository directly there and try to connect the sourcerepo Redmine to the server. Should be possible but we must consider bandwidth.</li>
<li>Move the GIT repository to an our personal server, like university or similar. In this case we should have a public server (with a public IP and some open ports) and we should do some extra works to rebuild the environment, but should be possible.</li>
<li>Exclude from the repository the largest files. At the moments a few packages are very very large and every time that we do a modification (also small) on one of these files, GIT saves another copy of the file. We could try to exclude the packages form the repository, delete old copies and copy it on a server. Every time we'll build the image we must download the updated packages in the correct folder.</li>
<li>A similar solution (but best IMHO) is to build a REAL debian repository. Packages will be upladed into the repository, an entry (in the sources.list file) will link it to the distribution and voilą!. Pros: adding the repository offers more flexibility to the distribution, eg. allowing us to "push" packages updates into archeos, or distributing patch and similar when ArcheOS will be complete. Cons: extra work, we need to find a repository :)</li>
<li>Other ideas?</li></ol>Ciao,<br><br>Fabrizio<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername"></b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:notify@sourcerepo.com">notify@sourcerepo.com</a>></span><br>
