I threw together a local repo for FC3test1 by loopback mounting the isos, and ran a few update tests against FC2. A complete complete update consumed about 40 seconds of cpu time for calculating the dependencies, down from maybe 5-10 minutes (haven't tried myself, but I've seen figures elsewhere). An update such as xorg-x11, which grabbed 5 other xorg-* packages with it, took maybe 2-3 seconds. With yum 2.0, such an update would take at least around 30 seconds. This is on an 1.4 GHz AMD, 512 RAM. When wil apt/upda2date read this metadata, and are there any mirrors that plan to use this metadata on fc2+updates any time soon? /Peter -- Peter Backlund <peter.backlund@xxxxxxx>
