I'd just like to know why "view=cache" is the default and if there are some drawbacks when using "view=solvstate"?
Sat-solver's solv parser was never checked against corrupt solv files, so it's probably possible to exploit it and do nasty things. That's not a problem for libzypp, as it only handles solv files written by itself. So I didn't dare to make view=solvstate the default because of security reasons. If you trust the other side, you can use it to speed up things.
And how the hell the api.opensuse.org can handle the situation? :)
I don't know, it doesn't seem to be an issue here.
