FYI, this is the size of all the binaries belonging to the given architecture, in the specifies suites: architecture | any | unstable | u+t | u+t+s | u+t+s+o --------------+------------+-------------+------------+------------+------------ all | 6907585148 | 3400497424 | 4086646374 | 5709009750 | 6444486078 alpha | 8181555068 | 3407524450 | 4906783652 | 6562026256 | 7611929650 arm | 6594851918 | 2914482000 | 4192165600 | 5566376046 | 6233666136 hppa | 6447723766 | 3185688176 | 4554324284 | 5977389114 | 5977389114 hurd-i386 | 554627760 | 554464016 | 554464016 | 554464016 | 554464016 i386 | 9027667988 | 3693410444 | 5352013018 | 7153730830 | 8206129322 ia64 | 7683523572 | 3714676258 | 5380423374 | 7121518964 | 7121518964 m68k | 6396308550 | 2809338886 | 4069205302 | 5393380388 | 6114386710 mips | 5416612358 | 2851405680 | 3920631098 | 5215452326 | 5215452326 mipsel | 5550145962 | 2819073082 | 3995118416 | 5262682024 | 5262682024 powerpc | 7680418788 | 3336303070 | 4780596742 | 6309202432 | 7112407388 s390 | 6147469798 | 3053291988 | 4427782760 | 5820464436 | 5820464436 sparc | 7331766068 | 3071979288 | 4444921552 | 5917654266 | 6790963196 "any" means any of: experimental oldstable old-proposed-updates proposed-updates unstable testing testing-proposed-updates stable stable+proposed-updates: architecture | size --------------+------------ all | 2195553250 alpha | 2438601088 arm | 1951980644 hppa | 2000060648 i386 | 2753622878 ia64 | 2531882184 m68k | 1888659560 mips | 1801959356 mipsel | 1763094946 powerpc | 2196413794 s390 | 1947506370 sparc | 2065059050 testing+testing-proposed-updates: architecture | size --------------+------------ all | 3113135590 alpha | 3050200486 arm | 2667813072 hppa | 2850080658 i386 | 3378532922 ia64 | 3394287226 m68k | 2571810596 mips | 2569942598 mipsel | 2531507858 powerpc | 2996108486 s390 | 2713124396 sparc | 2740423638 From the numbers quoted above you can make a reasonable estimation of how much unstable and testing overlap. You can assume testing-proposed-updates is empty (you'll be off only by a few MB). My napkin says 50%, which IMO is hideously bad, but that's me. Drop a factor of 2-3 somewhere if you want to consider source. This data does not come from the filesystem, but from the database used to wrangle the whole mess. Account for 10% wasted space or so for a guess of how much space you actually need for a mirror (adapt to your filesystem of choice -- information which I don't really care about). -- Marcelo
