Hi, I'm a disk space disadvantaged packager and I've found that when I
use osc ci from local copy that osc is downloading a large quantity of
data, +-300MB, prior to the diff screen coming up. Where does all this
data go and what is it for? This particular package home:plater kicad
had a 188MB doc.tar.bz2 in it at the time, due to having bzr info in it.
I've noticed this behaviour with other packages with large tarballs as
well, is osc possibly downloading the tarballs to compare them? If so
couldn't this comparison be done in another way like an md5 sum for
instance?
Seriously, when you deal with such large files, you should not complain about
disk usage.
You can use
osc co -l $SIZE
option with latest osc to ignore files larger than the defined value.
And with
osc add http://....
you can even avoid to download it at all to your system when submitting
a new version. It still happens when doing a local build of course.

You still haven't answered the question about what osc was downloading prior to uploading the checked in packages. The amount of download was almost as if osc downloads the files on the build service server before checking in the new files. This must be a problem for the openoffice maintainer for instance.
