All,
We currently provide "presto - drpm" data in our current CentOS-6 tree and we all like that its there for speed of updates ... however, it is a couple hundred GB of space now in vault.centos.org for previous point releases.
I would like to remove the drpms and rebuild metadata for the older centos repos to reclaim that space as we have 800GB of data there and if we don't cut back on size or get new machines for vault.centos.org to distribute, we are going to run out of space soon.
I believe we can save between 100 and 150 GB by doing this now. It would also cut the size of repos moved to vault by 40-50 GB every point release. That means we can keep the current vault infrastructure for the foreseeable future with minimal impact on the mainline trees.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Are you saying that you would like to remove all deltarpms from vault.centos.org for anything that's not a current release? If so, I'm in full agreement, there's no need to have those on vault for old releases.
Are you also talking about removing something from the main mirrors?

Yes ... remove things only on vault.

No, keep the drpm stuff as is on the current mirror.

Sounds great, thanks!
