Since the creation of my personal Mandriva repository (10 months ago) the number of my RPMs did not cease to increase. Currently all RPMs and SRPMs from 2006.0 and 2007.0 take 383MiB of space.
So I decided to move the http://kev.coolcavemen.com/static/repository folder to http://kevin.deldycke.free.fr/repository, which is a 10GiB (yes, ten gibibyte, this is not a typo) free web space offered by Free, my ISP.
To do this smoothly, I’ve just set up a generic 301 redirection thanks to Apache. This is the only line I added to my root .htaccess file to enable this:
Redirect permanent /static/repository http://kevin.deldycke.free.fr/repository
This move will normally be completely silent for you. So please, let me now if something bad happend while you play with my repository.
Looks like our experiments with 1and1 came in handy on that one
See u on the 3rd :=)
Hi Flo ! Not exactly, since you are the only author of the apache side of our experimentations. See you saturday night !
