Um, rpm headers are not compressed, so there is no decompression overhead retrieving a tag value, and there is no reason why an entire rpm needs to be decompressed in order to retrieve a value. Presumably you are obliquely referring to deltarpm creation, not rpm tag value access. After watching the video, I am also unsure how you got the impression that the number one request was for faster access to fields in an rpm header. _______________________________________________ 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
