If you could do this at the right time as hardlinks to the factory tree that would be really smart. In that case all mirror servers that have the factory tree could sync without any extra file to transfer saving about 30GB net transfer per mirror server. Suppose Eberhard would agree with me here.

Factory and our 10.1 tree are not hardlinked, they are internally different. So, it's not possible to do this. I tried to persuade our build guys to sync factory and 10.1 so that it would be hardlinks - but then we would need to sync after the release of 10.1 factory completely :-(

Everybody would - but it does not fit into the way we work, where we have separate 10.1 and "FACTORY" trees - even if those have the same sources, just are build separately, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

And where is factory now? Is it already roughly equal to RC1? Will be there another sync before next week? Bye,

It is equal to RC1 now - and next sync will happen on monday, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Just one more question: the fixes provided for the CDs have larger version numbers, than found in factory. Does it mean, that factory should also be updated with those rpms? Bye,

Yes, please! Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

You may want to explain what exactly is the reason that you build everything twice from the same sources at all.

I guess, the answer is here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=151930#c9 Factory has far more packages, than what goes on the CD/DVD. Bye, CzP

At one point of time we will put 10.1 into "maintenance" and only fix bugs there - and add newer packages only to the other tree. So, we have prepared for this one already to be ready at the day we release 10.1, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Ah, and this point in time is before the 10.1 final release?

No - but we have to prepare for it and want to master from that tree... Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
