Re: [eclipse-mirrors] Content corruption in rsync upstream

[Denis Roy <denis.roy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

The Helios release is 2011 and does not receive many downloads. We've excluded it from rsync to save space on mirrors. but we host the content on the home site.

We have a wide array of exclusion patterns to try to keep size as small as we can (even if we are taking > 1TB).

Thanks for asking.
