Hi, I'm a disk space disadvantaged packager and I've found that when I use osc ci from local copy that osc is downloading a large quantity of data, +-300MB, prior to the diff screen coming up. Where does all this data go and what is it for? This particular package home:plater kicad had a 188MB doc.tar.bz2 in it at the time, due to having bzr info in it. I've noticed this behaviour with other packages with large tarballs as well, is osc possibly downloading the tarballs to compare them? If so couldn't this comparison be done in another way like an md5 sum for instance?
Seriously, when you deal with such large files, you should not complain about disk usage. You can use osc co -l $SIZE option with latest osc to ignore files larger than the defined value. And with osc add http://.... you can even avoid to download it at all to your system when submitting a new version. It still happens when doing a local build of course. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de
