Hi, I've made it to the yum list at last :-) As a very first thing, I got an email from Pieter to this list forwarded to me earlier today about a corrupt header.info file on ayo.freshrpms.net... I've checked and all seems fine. Next, to my excuse for subscribing to the list, a question : When I execute yum-arch after a few files have changed in the RPMS directory, it erases all old header files and writes new ones. As I then rsync everything to many locations, it needs to sync the timestamp of all files, and creates very long listings of actually unchanged files. So my suggestion would be for yum-arch to have another mode of operation and try and be more "clever" and only delete obsolete headers and add new ones, without touching the existing ones, after possibly checking that they would indeed be identical. Would that be at all considered? I guess it would be (a bit) more "expensive", maybe not much, but it would make a difference for me ;-) Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ Raw Hide 20030619 running Linux kernel 2.4.20-20.1.2013.nptl Load : 0.13 0.20 0.19
