Off at a slight tangent, but it struck me the other day that rsync is
probably less efficient at mirroring rawhide *because* the RPMs are
compressed, therefore a small change to a package's source will change
the binary contents drastically enough to defeat the delta compression,
I suppose with xorg being split up that helps, but ooo/tetex/eclipse etc
are still significant chunks. I hardly suppose having an uncompressed
form of RPM file would be welcome though ...
I've recently been thinking I could update exploded source trees faster
than tarballs.
SUSE has patch rpms, but I've not explored the savings they (presumably)
yield. Someone should tho:-)
