I assume files have "full" names including version and build. So why not just keep old files around so that old meta-data does not get invalidated by partial updates?
"Why not just"? It's 14G without source and debuginfo. How many of those copies do you think our mirrors would prefer to have?
I hope it will be a lot less if we improve on not syncing out identical packages. But, indeed - "just". It's useful to be able to revert ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ a package to a previously known good state as well. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's a good point indeed. I would be nice to arrange delayed deletion of packages in a way that there's always one previous package version. Would be highly convenient for manual repair of breakage.
