The update rate always depends on the rate of change we currently have -- ie. how many packages we check in for rebuild.
Unless there is a long enough inactivity period, people with slow networks will not be able to install at all.
What do you mean exactly, that it should be resynced in two days? Actualy to sync more often is the best what could happen, if these syncs contain 'missing' pkgs: half broken system is not valid to test. Unfullfilled Pkgs deps are/can be desastrous for an os, as i noticed on several occasions..;)
I mean that if the repo is updated daily, every day, I will not have time to update before it changes again. It will change during my update, because a "zyper dup" has to download more than a gigabyte and my adsl is 1Mbit. Add the install time, that doubles or triples the used time, and the failures.
That is the right szenario to build a local mirror. Updating your local mirror would need about 2 hours for a gigabyte changes.
