Yeh, I don't know the answer to that. I'd _guess_ that it would work,
but someone needs to try it.
This would mean that drpms on rawhide will still suck upto F12, but I
could live with that :).
I assume we don't do F11 => F12 drpms?
On the other side of it, does anyone have any stats. on how much was
saved by using Xz instead of bzip2? -- Ie. what we'd lose if we did a
mass rebuild.
AFAIK we used gzip (well, libz really) before, not bzip2. If we'd used
bzip2, switching to xz might even have resulted in a speedup.
