Hi all,
As many of you can likely notice, package publishing in ABF usually
takes relatively significant time - about several minutes (sometimes up
to 10 minutes).
One of the time-consuming tasks in the publishing is generation of
hdlist.cz file - this is a huge file containing internal urpm
representation of metadata, including file lists, package descriptions,
etc. This file seems to be redundant - nowadays we generate additional
xml files (changelog.xml, info.xml, etc.) which in combination with
lightweight synthesis.hdlist.cz provide the same information. However, I
am not so familiar with hdlist.cz and can't guarantee that nothing will
be lost if we completely drop it.
So the question is - can somebody say what will we lost (if any) if we
drop hdlist.cz files? Or maybe we should just try and see?
