These problems have been solved by other distros already, i.e. pool/ in debian; you just need to symlink from pool/pkg.tgz to 0.8/pkg.tgz. Now only new Packages need to be transferred completely, the symlinks need to be recreated and old packages can be deleted. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
