Please read what I wrote - "a daily torrent of upgraded Rawhide
RPMs".Nothing in that statement says anyone has to keep them beyond
the daythey came out. Nor does it say that every user needs to keep a
fullarchive of Rawhide.
A daily torrent only works if everyone is in sync on a day-to-day basis.
Otherwise they'll need to get in sync with any missed days.
Moreover they'll need ALL the packages as an example:
day1: pkgx is shipped
day2: pkgy is shipped
day3: pkgy is updated with a requirement on pkgx
now if you're only getting updates and you're not keeping them where do
you get pkgx from?
This is no different than the delay getting to download updated
RPMstoday. Or are you still misreading my above statements and
assumingthat I proposed a full backup of Rawhide to each Fedora user?
This will require some scripting on the Redhat side of the
repositorybut it is something they fully control - yum, up2date,
FedoraDistribution, Rawhide update policies.
I beg to differ with you. Red Hat does NOT control yum development and
with no offense to the people at red hat, they've shown remarkably
little mirror guidance or leadership.
I think this meets all or mostof Mr. Spaleta's constraints and
provides benefits to Redhat and users.
Except for the incredible overhead of running a torrent seed on each
client. People always forget that part.
