Ideas for the future were: * make primary.xml.gz zsyncable (https://features.opensuse.org/309088) * implement some rotation for primary.xml.gz * use lzma, which compresses the duplicate dependencies just fine (all three options assume that the original primary.xml.gz stays for compatibility reasons). The more urgent thing is what to do with 11.2. In git, I already blacklisted some of the provides, removed provides for kernel-vanilla completely (because nobody is building KMPs for vanilla) and removed the firmware(...) provides, which are not used anywhere. This reduced the number to about 44% (total of 83856 provides for all kernel-{debug,default,desktop,pae,trace,vanilla,xen}{,-base} for both architectures). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586960 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586960#c2 --- Comment #2 from Marcus Meissner 2010-03-10 10:43:26 UTC --- in 11.2 yesterday the following change was deployed that reduces the impact on the download servers: repomd.xml refers now to tagged primary.xml.gz files, so that they are mirrorable. (e.g. it now refers to: 4c3e8fba6e823d3175670d78dbafea3db4cebc04-primary.xml.gz ) libzypp on 11.2 can handle this fortunately. primary.xml.gz are generated and kept too for tools that do not read repomd.xml correctly. HOWEVER. * The sheer size of primary.xml and the generated resolvables however are still a concern. The users will download this huge files on every update anew, it will pass through the converters and the stack. * For 11.2 we cannot move away from the function export due to released KMPs requiring it already. (Or at least we need a transition phase.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

At the end of the 11.4 lifetime it'll probably be around 20 seconds. I regret adding the zsync option, updates would be faster without it because we would still use the symset approach. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
