Is there support for compression types other than gzip for the yum metadata? For example, bzip2 or LZMA? It is possible to trim the metadata from 145 MB down to 9 MB using LZMA over gzip. That's huge, especially when it comes to yum mirrors. Bzip2 doesn't yield nearly as high of a compression ratio, but it is also improved over gzip. The largest culprit with wasted filesize is other.xml, there is a ~30x difference in size between LZMA and gzip (66 MB to 2MB). If there is a way to do this and I am missing it, I apologize. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
