From what I see yum is doing, it download the primary, the other file,
and
possibly filelists, /every/ time a single package gets added to the
repository. Even though 99% of the content is the same as before.
This, in my opinion, does not really such an optimum design to me. You
should /not/ have to download /everything/ every time a single package
changes.
Out of interest, how are these files downloaded ? Would it be possible
to use something like rsync to avoid downloading the whole file, and
only get the 'bit' that changed ?
For me this is the only bit of yum I still find a little annoying. The
new sqlite format may be bigger, but it is much faster to parse. If the
download time could be improved, then for me yum wouldn't be OK.
