Within a couple of months, we are going to have quite a bit of content under altarch as the armv7 / power( many of them)/ aarch64 / i386 tree's expand. We didnt think every rsync mirror would want to host those extra 100+GB given that we don't expect a huge user-base in the early months. Its likely ( and we hope ) the user-base expands, but we didnt want all hundreds of mirrors to suddenly inherit a huge payload.
I understand this concern but since all official mirror owners are on this mailing list perhaps it would be sufficient to inform everybody about it few weeks/months in advance ? (and update howto at https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreatePublicMirrors accordingly..)
(also: isn't RH going to release 7.X for aarch64 in the future ? .. in that case would CentOS 7 for aarch64 be in same place as x86_64 or in altarch ?)
The plan is to open rsync for these targets as wide as possible, to allow anyone wanting to opt into these to grab it from us. In the mean time we still need to workout how mirrorlist.centos.org is going to handle these, and how other SIGs are able to consume and extend this content.
Ok, so for now the only way to mirror the i686 altarch tree is to get it over http at: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/ ?
(we are using these 32bit packages in our internal build system, so far we mirror from buildlogs.centos.org .. which is not very practical ..)
Thanks !
