Wait wait, didn't we agree on reverting this change and going back to symsets?
Yes, but I hope that's not the ultimate solution.
Zypp / sat-solver cope well with this, but the problem is that the primary.xml.gz file grows beyond limits.
I'm not really in favor of this. I would rather have zsync downloads for primary, which would need a "rsyncable" compression format, i.e. "gzip --rsyncable".
I see pros and cons of both approaches (rsyncable primary.xml.gz would probably result in smaller incremental updates, with primary.xml.lzma, the first download would be smaller) and I don't really insist on either solution. But support for primary.xml.lzma is indeed trivial to add, I have no idea how much effort would zsync support take.
