- Do we really want users to download all the src.rpm data each time?
Most
users don't do anything with that information so it sucks up bandwidth for
no purpose. Maybe the src.rpm file information should be separated to
different files?
the src rpms stuff are more of a <Shrug>. I got a bunch of complaints
about yum's src.rpm header.info file being separate from the primary
header.info so I figured that might help resolve it.
- Any particular reason for using gzip instead of bzip2? The
difference
can be huge, especially for other.xml:
Yah - bzip2 isn't everywhere - gzip is.
Specifically bzip2 isn't in python 2.2 - you need an external module
that's not in fedora core 1.
I thought DV had a complaint about bzip2 as well, but I'm not positive
of that.
