|
88 | <ul> |
|
|
89 | <li>/release</li> |
|
|
90 | <li>/experimental</li> |
|
|
91 | <li>/distfiles</li> |

98 | <title>Q: I don't have that much disk space. Can I mirror part of the sources?</title> |
|
|
99 | <body> |
|
|
100 | <p>A: Yes, if you are unable to mirror our full sources, you can elect to mirror the following two directories only:</p> |
|
|
101 | <ul> |
|
|
102 | <li>/distfiles</li> |
|
|
103 | <li>/snapshots</li> |
|
|
104 | </ul> |
|
|
105 | <p>These two directories will require approximately 20GB of space and you will be listed on our site as a distfiles-only mirror.</p> |
