FYI, Marketing team, re: the XZ (smaller packages) feature. One of the big lingering issues was that the XZ libraries used by the yum-presto/deltaRPM feature would fail to rebuild .noarch (architecture-independent) RPM packages that were identical to the original when checksummed. Therefore, any .noarch package would fail the rebuild test and the original, full package would be downloaded anyway. (Binary architecture-dependent packages, like *.i686.rpm and *.x86_64.rpm, worked fine -- the majority of packages.) That's been fixed, meaning this feature works even better now for F12 than a month ago.

XZ upstream was informed of this problem and we have now inherited the fix. --- Wed Oct 07 2009 Jindrich Novy 4.999.9-0.1.20091007.beta - update to 4.999.9beta - sync with upstream to generate the same archives on machines with different endianess --- Rahul -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Paul W.
