--- 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.)
