ALT Linux Mirrors

what, where, how much

The whole repository including ISOs is at rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/ [125Gb as of 2007-09-24], parts of it are updated roughly daily. There are also distinct parts specifically worth mirroring, namely latest stable release (4.0) and current/unstable branch (Sisyphus). Overall picture is currently like this:

The "wholesale" location is here: rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/ is 125G as of 2007-09-24 including four releases (since 2004) and daily-updated unstable (Sisyphus/)

Latest stable release is here (uses hardlinks): rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/4.0/

58Gb , static+updated; consists of:

rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/4.0/Desktop/

14Gb (4.0.0, i586) -- static between point releases

rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/4.0/Server/

45Gb (4.0.0+4.0.1, i586+x86_64) -- ditto

rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/4.0/branch/

25Gb (current, i586+x86_64) -- updated daily to weekly

Its ISOs are here (included in the above):

ftp://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/4.0/Desktop/current/iso/

4.4Gb, static between point releases

ftp://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/4.0/Server/current/iso/

18Gb, ditto

Updates are maintained here: rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/updates/ -- ca. 3.6Gb as of 2007-09-24

Unstable branch lives at: rsync://rsync.altlinux.org/ALTLinux/Sisyphus/ -- 32Gb as of 2007-09-24 (incl. orphaned/obsolete which aren't usually needed)

TODO: add year-over-year growth rates observed, see archives

excludes

You might want to specificaly exclude known ancient (e.g. there is Compact/2.3 and Master/2.4 there, current releases published like 4.0/{Desktop,Server,branch} which really is more logical) -- or too specific -- parts of the archive:

'*GIVC/*'
'*Castle/*'
'*Compact/*'
'*Junior/*'
'*Master/*'
'*Mozilla/*'
'*OpenOffice/*'
'*unsupported/*'
'*obsolete/*'

and probably '*orphaned/*' although that's rather limbo than end-of-life for a package.

The corresponding rsync commandline addition is: --exclude '*/GIVC/*' --exclude '*/Castle/*' --exclude '*/Compact/*' --exclude '*/Junior/*' --exclude '*/Master/*' --exclude '*/Mozilla/*' --exclude '*/OpenOffice/*' --exclude '*/unsupported/*' --exclude '*/obsolete/*'
