I think that could be a big deal because Eberhard is hosting a few thousands of RPMs on gwdg.de, and creating the APT metadata almost already pushes the limits, from what I know. What Eberhard is referring to is that we, as package builders that are hosted on gwdg.de, should run createrepo on our own boxes so that when gwdg.de syncs to fetch our RPMs, it just needs to download the already generated metadata instead of having to compute it on its own. Trading bandwidth for CPU cycles and I/O. I'll try to have a look at that createrepo and add yum support to my packages. We'll see how it works and whether it's a better option for Eberhart. Also, most of us 3rd party packagers are not only offering packages for 10.0 You know I have it all the way up from 9.0 to 10.0, and I have a few scripts that generate the YaST2 repository metadata on my build box. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDJnWHr3NMWliFcXcRAj7cAJ98ekAw/qtAbcWFzCaGh9ENKsJjCACgvOm7 dOooLPzh/7M60HV4suKkDkQ= =tHfJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
