You need to convince me.
No, I don't need. If Novell insists in keeping all of the vital infrastructure of the openSUSE project prorietary and you exploit that fact refusing to keep the discussion on a senseful level by not providing arguments for your opinions then I should most likely opt out at this point. In that case every further minute I invest here seems to be a complete waste of time and I should prefer investing that time in preparing my move to Vancouver. So you might want to think about how to communicate effectively. I confess that I might be wrong sometimes in my opinion but as long as you don't tell me _why_ you think I am wrong, I have to assume that I am not. Playing "You are wrong but I won't tell you why, guess again!" was something I did stop a short time after I left the kindergarden. > > Actually the contents file as shipped from the drpmsync server is an index > > over the repository.

Whoever puts it there. It should be visible through traditional protocols like rsync to support mirrors that do not run drpmsync _without_ the need to contact a single point of failure server before. > I just changed the format of the on-disk filelist.

Now we still need to _have_ this file somewhere on the disk to make use of that. > (As you can see I'm working in your direction, so that we can > easily add a drpmsync.filelist file) Very good. Now if you could provide arguments for your opinions on a regular basis this could make discussions much less annoying.
