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
