Care to elaborate on that?
Rudi, I guess it's your turn ;)
well, in short: it will take some hours of coding something similar to createrepo, but with a far more elaborate caching. createrepo is far too slow, roughly 6 minutes for the 10.0 update tree alone on a fast machine and still almost 3 minutes with checksum caching is far above anything usable.
After all, if a new patch is added, this is just about adding a handfull of new rpms and that must never take that long. Some other things are pretty annoying with it, mainly not being able to exclude symlinks and probably more.
I hope to get something done within one or two weeks.
+ this is something for SUSE <= 10.0 only, as 10.1 will feature some new rpm-md-alike update trees ;) Regards Christoph
