OK, tested it out by doing a few updates and everything seems to work (so far). The hdlist is great - makes me very excited for the new metadata format (well, I was excited already, but now I'm more excited). On my machine downloading from a local repository (100 Mb/sec), running yum update for the first time took about 40 seconds to download all the headers when using the local hdlist. I then hit ctrl-c before it updated anything, deleted all the headers and ran yum update again, this time without using the local hdlist. The time it took to download the headers went up to 140 seconds. This is quite an improvment - and I imagine it would be even more dramatic over a slower network connection. By the way, in the above runs yum was only looking at two repos: base-fedora and fedora updates. -Jeff On Mon, 2004-02-23 at 11:57, seth vidal wrote: > On Mon, 2004-02-23 at 14:53, Jeff Sheltren wrote: > > OK, sounds good to me.
