Is that related to the common backend discussion for up2date, yum and apt? Care to give some more details? Something must be downloaded, and I liked yum (with the not so recent patches to keep timestamps on hdr files) for downloading only a portion of what apt does (apt effectivly downloads all *.hdr files for a single change due to the monolithic package files). I assume a common backend could simply passively create the hdr files by extracting them from the server's rpm, so that even non yummed/apted/etc repos could be plugged in. Is there perhaps a discussion about the common backend on another list? -- Axel.Thimm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
