Hear, hear! (-: I'd also like to implement a simple technique for turning the updates list into an incremental download. New updates are simply appended to an alternate hdlist.cz-ish file (gzip has always known how to cope with this) - maybe call it hdlist.incz - and all urpmi has to do is `resume' downloading against its cached version to get only the bits of the hdlist that have changed since it last looked. This would turn megabytes-long re-downloads of the updates list into kilobytes-long resyncs. > 3)The final suggestion I have is for the creation of an App called > something like drakecooker or cookerdrake.
