http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586960 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586960#c2 --- Comment #2 from Marcus Meissner <meissner@novell.com> 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.
