And maybe there is another one. Good news, over the last hours I have implemented a subdirectory scan that actually deletes files from the database. So far, our scanner could do either complete scans, or partial scans without deletions. Since I reimplemented the whole mirror file database in a different way, it is structured in a way that it is possible to do efficient substring matches on path names. This means that I can do cleanup scans (which remove stale files from the database, thus preventing bad redirects) much more efficiently. Now it doesn't require an expensive full scan anymore, but just a subdirectory scan which I can do every few hours. This will greatly alleviate the issue reported here. I have an idea in the back of my head for parallel download; we could provide a "precompiled" metalink with all the files, and libzypp could download that and use it to download the referenced files from it that it needs. Would be perfect for installation. Just an idea for now though, not thought through. -- 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.
