Hi, A suggestion for openSUSE10.3. I've noticed that <filelists.xml.gz> is refreshed by Yast YOU if it has changed on the server. It takes me about 4 minutes to download from <mirror.pacific.net.au> and is currently 2.9MB in size. I had a look at this compressed text file and observed that it contains a very large proportion of redundant data. /a/b/c/d/e/file1 /a/b/c/d/e/file2 etc If this file could be compressed further by omitting the redundant data the compressed version would download much faster and may improve the end users experience of updating their system. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
