My issue is the misdirection discussing lazy filelist downloading as a "solution" to the "problem" of huge amounts of data that is forced to be downloaded and loaded. The issue has been discussed repeatedly without a solution. Adding -- and maintaining -- patterns or whitelist exceptions, which moves file dependencies into primary.xml is actually an approach that solves the problem, and scales to multiple repos as well, each of which also will have their own patterns and whitelist.
Actually, you do not need to maintain whitelists manually, just having createrepo automatically whitelist all the file deps it finds referenced in the indexed repo would solve most of the problem.
If you want to be fancy, you could also add an option to pass it the url of another repo is should inherit whitelists from (for updates, epel, etc)
Manual whitelists will go stale fast Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
