I hear that Fedora decrease the size of the download significantly by putting
the metadata in a bzipped sqlite database directly on the repo.
Don't know the details, and whether a similar approach is possible/desirable
with libzypp design etc. But perhaps this could serve as inspiration, for
addressing the core problem here, which is that downloading metadata for
(large) repos takes quite some time, especially for people with not so much
bandwidth.
But I agree it's mostly a problem with the OSS repo, and it's a one time deal.
So it's not our most pressing issue.
