That's like saying - in order to work efficiently it's best if firefox cache every page you've ever been to and all of those pages you've NOT been to, too. > If the magical mirrorlist and metadata caching makes it into the > default yum configuration...how expensive does retrieving the srpm > metadata become? a little less than double the amount of data. > At the very least I would certaintly want yum makecache to cache all > the enabled repos including enabled srpm information. If a source repo is not enabled then it's not enabled. The only thing marking them as source would do is tell yumdownloader which repos to enable if someone passed --source to it. > I personally don't think its worth trying to turn the srpm parsing > off.
