I finally found some time to work a bit on drpmsync. A new version is available from https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/drpmsync/trunk .
New Features: - while applydeltarpm is running the next delta is fetched over the network. - new --get-filelist and --use-filelist options to save the filelist to a file or re-use a fetched one. - new --list and --list-recursive option to list a directory on the server. - trailing slashes are stripped from the source directory.
The last point is actually quite important. I plan to make drpmsync more similar to rsync, this means that
drpmsync server/dir .
will *always* create a subdirectory in one of the next versions. So you'll need to add '/' or '/.' to your source specifications to stay compatible.
Planned next steps: - source handling changes (see above). - support for mirror servers (i.e. what Robert suggested: Pull the filelist from the main server, get the deltas from a mirror server).
This is a very welcomed extension. This way ftp-1.gwdg.de can contribute. I would never use the original drpmsync scripting thingies to run a drpmsync service on high-production machines, but I can help to "deliver" the files. A possible next step would be to use the already very much refined, very sophisticated redirection mechanism of download.opensuse.org.
- exclude and --exclude-arch.
