It looks like popcon has like 93000 profiles? Smolt has 1.8 million [1] and even at that level without package data we have horrible performance issues. If I were to add packages with my knowledge of db's, smolt would become useless within a month because the thing would be completely unavailable. If someone *really* wants to do this and knows more about databases then I do, I'll help them through it. It's a high bar though and not to be taken lightly. -Mike [1] Yes I know the stats say 765,000 right now. I was in the middle of a multi-day db upgrade that took several days longer then I thought and got caught in our infra freeze for the alpha... It'll be corrected after the alpha ships :) -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
