The sorting should be kept with incremental version of package (always ldconfig first, ... according to most used package (perl-URPM counts reference to each package globaly before building hdlist)). Compression of hdlist is done by section, not the whole file is compressed but only section of 400000 bytes (generally) of concatenated rpm headers (some headers have size of 1.2Mb). This means rsync can behave correctly. Fran�ois.
