Re: [eclipse.org-committers] Action required: download.eclipse.org mirror size
|
I'll answer Nick's questions, as they
are good general info:

What's the retention policy for ancient simrel
releases?
Simrel (and EPP) should follow the same guidelines, and I believe
they are looking into it.
BTW -- we do care about disk space on archive.eclipse.org :) we
still have to maintain backups and redundancy etc.
I'm asking because I can move WTP releases from downloads
to archives but that will only save at best 12G, plus
another 9G for the ancient patches. But if there's over 430GB
of disk used in the big projects, that'll barely move the
needle. :D
10G saved, multiplied by 300 projects = 3 TB
Every little thing counts.
Thanks
Greetings,
As download.eclipse.org is
mirrored worldwide, is it important to keep your
download footprint to a minimum. Most of our
mirror sites are also host to a number of OSS projects,
and enterprise disk space is not cheap. Some strategies
to note:
- Nightly, weekly, milestone and
RC builds should be deleted
- Older releases must be moved
to archive.eclipse.org. If
moved into the same directory structure, links typically
do not need to be updated, as our 404 Not Found handlers
will look for the file in the archives before throwing
the error.
- Please use this compiled
Archive index (courtesy of the Oomph team) to find your
project's mirror footprint:
https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/eclipse/index.html
The risk of not cleaning up is
significant. Mirrors, looking to liberate disk space,
will simply purge the worst offenders, and with fewer
mirror sites offering Eclipse bits, our servers must
handle more downloads, which means unnecessary expense
for the Eclipse Foundation.
Many thanks for your
cooperation.
