I feared that it would come to this. Even if we'd find another way to handle the OpenOffice.org issue, our amount of packages is only going to go up. We currently have almost 30 packages in the bzr repo, taking up a few hundred MB. I'm pretty sure they're all GPL compatible, but we can't guarantee that'll be the case for future packages (only that they're free software).

I'll mention this to Karl (gNewSense project leader). I see that you're going to be at GHM Den Haag. We'll both be there too, so that'll be convenient to talk about a solution.

Hi,

Yes that's a problem for 2 reasons: first the size&bandwidth, secondly the legal checks (namely compatibility with the GPL, as per our hosting requirements).

We're generally not prepared to host a complete distro.  The gNewSense account is reserved for gNewSense tools, not for packaging 3rd-party software.

I'm worried that you upload modified 3rd-party packages to Savannah.  Is there a lot of them?  We should discuss to find another hosting arrangement.

I work on gNewSense. We keep the source of our modified or new packages in bzr on Savannah. I found out that we need to modify OpenOffice.org. The local branch I created for it is 2.3 GB and I'm going to need (at least) two branches for it.

I was wondering if it's going to be a problem is I push this to Savannah. I'd hate to be the one who brings the server down. :)
