I'm rebuilding it on my shared hosting account at dreamhost.com. I'll see if I can get it built before they notice and kill my process. My account there is on a 4GB quad xeon box so hopefully it can convert the tree faster. My account has 1TB download per month so rsync will be ok. Not bad for $12 the first year. It would take over a day to rsync it off from my home machine. > > Martin has also brought up the problem with needing a partial clone so > > that everyone doesn't have to bring down the entire repository. > > If it can be repacked into a single pack that size might get much > smaller too. > > > Nicolas > -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com
