Zsync looks interesting. I suppose it's okay that the author still calls is 'beta' - we could certainly explore it. The 'rsync algorithm over http' is pretty much what httpup gives us. So, I'm curious to see if it performs any better.
I'm pretty sure it does, even if I I just discovered zsync is for distributing single files, so it's not appropriate here. I'd be more than happy also with a simple solution like making the crux.nu server update the svn repo to a local dir every, say, 5 minutes and serve that dir via rsync (almost the same as with contrib-test). This way we'd have to manage a single (+ more compact and efficient) ports backend. Regards, Simone -- Simone Rota WEB : http://www.varlock.com Bergamo, Italy MAIL: sip@varlock.com
