This should give some savings. It should be possible to get better savings with a custom diff that could be generated by createrepo. It would only need to include the changed package details, and could diff things like the description which I suspect don't change frequently even in factory.
That's the (or my at least) plan, yes. But together with a different meta format (the SOLV files) ...
Then generate a primary.xml.<oldtimestamp> or something as a diff from that timestamp.
... and insofar I personally am not interested to work on the yum format, so that would have to be done by someone else :) Ciao, Michael. PS: before someone cries, the SOLV files would be placed in parallel to the yum metadata, so clients not understanding the former can continue to use the latter. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
