A couple of questions:
1) ballpark, just how big is the entire (including source code) multiverse repository? I mean everything.
2) would it be possible to make my very own personal mirror of this repository?
I'm toying with the idea of making my own mirror, then setting up a personal PPA to use it for systems I work with. Downloading 100GB or so at work is no big deal and I could easily dump it to an external drive. Then, I'd have it even where there was no internet connection. Every once in a while I could re-sync the mirror to keep it up to date.
Possible? Reasonable? Pointers?
Mostly just curious at this point,
