So doubling or even > tripling this part won't hurt. I'm not sure what you mean by 10% here, but tripling primary would hurt a lot. Eg. for Fedora 18/updates we have: 404K comps-f18.xml.gz 17M filelists.sqlite.bz2 6.2M other.sqlite.bz2 780K pkgtags.sqlite.gz 2.7M prestodelta.xml.gz 12M primary.sqlite.bz2 1.2M updateinfo.xml.gz ...and downloading ~15M does matter, so while compression helps and we are already in a lot of pain ... more pain is more pain. Also this locally turns into: 86M filelists_db.sqlite 34M other_db.sqlite 1.8M pkgtags.sqlite 13M prestodelta.xml 51M primary_db.sqlite 13M updateinfo.xml ...and randomly using 80+MB of extra disk space is also painful in some use cases. Not that I assume splitting lanauges and docs. into sub packages would triple primary numbers, but if it did ... that would be bad. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
