Hi,
what do you think about using jigdo for distributing iso Images?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigdo
http://atterer.net/jigdo/
advantages:
- save space at mirror because data are now redandant (as rpm's and
"inside" the iso images
- the webserver does handle small files more efficient than big
files
- can save bandwith if a download of an iso image aborts and
have to be restarted
disadvantage:
- maybe more requests, for downloading all rpm's to build the iso
at client site
Happy discussing!
Uwe
