That header information is available in the repodata, so tools like yum and repoquery can get it for you without needing to download the rpm. In the case of small packages, downloading the rpm instead of the extra repodata files (which cover all packages) can very easily be the smaller download. :) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The important thing is to never stop questioning.
