What do you think? It actually solves a real problem: the model of having a copy of everything in our servers doesn't scale. Specially with big game data.
Problems I can think of: - You don't have control over the external servers. Somebody could modify the files there add hack into users machines. - No information about the files is stored in the RPM database. It's impossible to verify the integrity of the installed package. - It just looks bad, ugly and fragile.
A side note: During the build process, the packages get installed and the %post section is executed. In the build process you have no network - so be carefull what you execute in the post script, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
