In that mater the suse team, and probably fedora and the rest, have yet to solve another issue: downloading smaller rpms is a good thing, but currently while checking for updates we have to download a lot of "metadata", some megabytes, I think.
If somebody can devise a trick to make the checking for updates much faster and with far less download bytes, that would be a very good thing for all those with limited network connection. Or metered connection.
AFAIK this is beeing worked on - the new zypper in openSUSE 11.0 will be able to handle preparsed metadata and those are much smaller. I assume this has been discussed on the zypp-devel mailing list, please check the archives,
Thanks! That's good news. For me it's enough to know you are working on it. :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
