Maybe one of those talented persons who designed repomd should have a look at /var/lib/locatedb. It's able to store equivalent information about 2 Linuxes, 1 Windows system and a lot of user files in just 2.5MB. Thanks to not using XML.
Yeah, I saw this too and thought about at least using some kind of directory prefix or similar handling.
XML really makes it easy to be stupid in data design :/
What about md5sum-ming the filelist, and use the md5sum as key? If a new version of a package is released with the same filelist only the md5sum needs to be transferred. For big packages the compression might be around 100% ;) -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
