Hi Adrian,
Couple of questions...

Does HTTPS support pipelining? That could be a source of slowdown for users, if not.
AFAIK it should not make a difference here, ssl is just one layer on top of http to get https.

I'd be interested to hear a little more about what is being considered for this. I'd also like to suggest that some improvements to the support for Debian package repositories be improved: it is currently AFAICT not possible to integrate Debian packages build with an APT repository, and this would be a really useful feature.
Uuh ... you mention something I broke during server upgrade and did not fix yet due to lots of other stuff :/ if anyone has building sources for SLE 10 of apt-ftparchive binary/package, I can fix this within seconds ....
Regarding Windows support: how would you propose to specify package dependencies, given that no such support for this exists natively?
I have no real ideas about that. There do exist some approaches out there for that, but this is definitive the first thing what needs to get defined. Yes, it will need quite some work to support this, I am sure. But imaging the new number of users, which we will attract :) bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
