If Asterisk 1.0 becomes as popular as we all know it will, the ever increasing volume
of downloads will also put an enormous burden on Asterisk.org's FTP server.
Obviously, sharing the load amongst several mirrors will quickly become very
attractive.
Digium's FTP server only has 768k of outbound bandwidth (according to the Wiki), hence why when
1.0RC1 was announced quite a number of people immediately put it up on their servers as mirrors
(myself included).
I have sent an email to Mark suggesting that perhaps some sort of formal mirror arrangement
might be a good idea, something akin to how the samba or PHP projects run their sites. I
haven't had any response from him yet. I might think about adding a ticket to mantis, if
there's a category that would suit.
Quote:
Probably the distribution strategy for 1.0 will need to be different from the method
popular with the development community.
CVS is a tool for developers who need to keep track of changes, whereas prepackaged tarballs,
RPMs, DEBs, etc are more for end-users. Just because there is a tarball doesn't mean people
can't use CVS if they want HEAD.
Personally, I'll moving our network of servers to 1.0 and keeping them there rather than
running CVS HEAD. As someone else in the thread has mentioned it reduces my administration
tasks and it also means that I can easily make sure that all my servers are running the same
version.
