Hi

in order to distribute the openSuse image I've created a torrent
(using the tracker at http://openbittorrent.com/), and I'm currently
seeding it but I need some people to test it.

you can find the torrent file at http://dl.free.fr/m0uwbPCPs

any feedback is welcome.

cheers,

Fabrice

Allo Fabrice,

I've managed to hop onto the torrent, but unfortunately the download
rate is glacial. Is there somewhere I can grab that image from so I
can start seeding it?

Cheers,
Philippe

Of course, it comes from

http://images.dexxon.cn/opensuse/

cheers,

Hi,

the torrent is gone, but I got it from Phil's

<http://lebesgue.cowpig.ca/~philippe/gdium/openSuseGdium.img.gz.torrent>

It worked like a charm!

three questions:
* can we get other images served in the same way? =) (debian,
Glinux, GLinux-olph,...)
* can dexxon help seeding? ;-)
* can the olph server host the torrent files? (authoritative source)

Thanks,
Alejandro Mery

Hello Alejandro

yes, I definitely want to distribute more images this way,  at least glinux-olph and debian (Glinux distribution has to be controlled so it cannot be done.)

I will inform everyone when I start seeding.

I'm afraid the olph server cannot hold the torrent files due to corporate network rules.

Cheers,

Fabrice

Hi again,

I've made a new torrent and started seeding the Glinux OLPH image (20090423, same as already available).

the torrent is at http://www.demo.ovh.com/download/f80087b65425c8047c07847d730ef27a/glinux-olph-20090423.torrent

I think there maybe a way to store the torrents on our site in a more permanent way...I'll inform you when the link is available.

Cheers,

F.

I joined this torrent (as leecher) last night, but I still can't get
a seeder :(

afaik the wiki is setup to not accept the mime type of the torrents,
this should be easy to fix.

hmm that's strange as I've started seeding this morning.

Hi Fabrice,

Following your request to have a working PMON set for the opensuse
image, I have updated the wiki page with one:
http://olph.gdium.com/wiki/doku.php/projects:opensuse_port

Those settings are working with my gdium, even with the
init=/sbin/finit-mdv in the karg which I find strange...

Cheers,

Julien

I'm downloading your now, thanks! but i noticed it's different than
the one currently in http://olph.gdium.com/image/

http://olph.gdium.com/image/img-olph-20090423.img.gz.md5 gives
66361bc79704118bd6fcb9fc2f0770c8 img-olph-20090423.img.gz

but yours is
84bcf82fb28142d34b4af5d646dce9d5 img-olph-20090423.img.gz

what happened?

Alejandro

Hello,

yes I re-did the image.

 When I flashed the one from the olph site, there was a fsck on the first boot. Hopefully, this image should not have this issue..

otherwise it is exactly the same content (same OS, same applications)

regards

Fabrice
