Bigger for files is okay, since it means that your repository's clients can verify their contents are legitimate. Bigger for catalogs will have a performance impact, which is why we believe we'll need a "historical" state for package versions that shouldn't be retrieved by clients not already aware of their existence. This case is separate from the "toxic version" removal case. - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
