So - this is just an idea - and not necessarily a good one - but what about moving older pkgs which are not in the initial release repo into an updates-archive repo. We could leave the repo disabled by default and only keep 2 copies of any single pkg name in the repo at a time. That way in the best of all possible worlds you'd have at most 4 copies of a pkg in total: 1 - in the base release 'everything' repo 1 - in updates 2 - in updates-archive -sv -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
