And why there is need to download ~2 MB of data every day? My laptop has just a couple devices. I can't see why the metadata for their possible update should take that much.

Hi all, I was thinking of adding Passim as a default-installed and default-enabled dep of fwupd in the Fedora 40 release. Before I create lots of unnecessary drama, is there any early feedback on what's described in https://github.com/hughsie/passim/blob/main/README.md please. The tl;dr: is I want to add a mDNS server that reshares the public firmware update metadata from the LVFS on your LAN. The idea is that rather than 25 users in an office downloading the same ~2MB file from the CDN every day, the first downloads from the CDN and the other 24 download from the first machine. All machines still download the [tiny] jcat file from the CDN still so we know the SHA256 to search for and verify. The backstory is that as the fwupd grows and grows (to ChromeOS, FreeBSD, Windows and macOS) we need to scale things up a couple of orders of magnitude. This isn't specific to firmware stuff, although I think it makes a great testcase which we could add dnf or ostree content to in the future. Comments and questions are most welcome. Thanks, Richard. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
