[mirror-admin] [suse-mirror] Considerably shrinking the buildservice-* rsync modules

[Peter Poeml]

Hi mirror admins,

after removing 10.1 from the distribution trees recently, I have now
removed some repositories from the 
  buildservice-repos
and 
  buildservice-repos-main
rsync modules, which contain software for Factory, 10.0 and 10.1,
Fedora, Mandriva, RHEL and other repositories.


The change affects both rsync.opensuse.org and stage.opensuse.org
and considerably reduces the size of those modules:
buildservice-repos       424G -> 220G (!)
buildservice-repos-main  240G -> 122G (!)


The largest part of this is software for Factory, which isn't really
used by users, but kept 100G occupied alone.
See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2008-04/msg00223.html
for the rationale and more data.


Note 1:
  The excluded software will still be available on download.opensuse.org
as before. It is just not being mirrored anymore, except on the
widehat.opensuse.org mirror. 

Note 2:
  Regarding established push syncs of those data, I'll contact those of
you who affects it separately.

Best,
Peter
