Are you sure this is a good thing? For instance, my adsl is not fast enough to ensure update during a single day.
One standing request I have for FACTORY is to make updates (quite a bit) smaller.
That would surely help :-) You should also consider creating a file that contains the "release number" of the entire repo, so that this can be reported on Bugzillas. It could be a timestamp, stored as another line in "SuSE-release", perhaps.
Among others this should include not updating packages which really have not seen material changes -- for example there really is no need to push all those updates for opensuse-manual_en all the time.
Of course. Maybe you can come up with some method to change just the release number without actually downloading the package. Symlinks?
Let's see what Adrian and team are going to come up with. ;-)
You could also consider making an alternate weekly frozen repo. Or saying "we will not push updates on weekends", so that we can count on having that time to do the "zypper dup" at that period on homes. Not everybody all the world around has a fast network at home. I haven't, just a 1mbit adsl. Others have even less. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
