Remember many people mirror the whole Everything tree to do local > installs etc. but i really dont see the issue here, simply because you could just exclude that one package from mirroring. what if someone adds 100 x 5mb packages tomorrow... the everything mirror scripts will then have to mirror the same size. splitting makes sense if splitting is an option... seperate repo? first all gets merged into one "because it is so much better" then people promote to split out stuff into seperate repos again... oh well ;) in the future i guess it is a save prediction that there will be even larger packages ... and as for updates... if we had presto properly integrated that would also be a non issue. dont really see the point of excluding a nice free software game just because it comes with a good amount of content/data and i am also curious if it really should be treated in a special way. kind regards, Rudolf Kastl p.s. if you wanna top a 500mb package... just package all flightgear scenarios into a single flightgear-world rpm :) then we can test how well it works to have a package that is several gigabytes big (j/k) > > Jakub > > > > -- > fedora-devel-list mailing list > fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list > -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
