Nevertheless I think it's a decent idea. I use the synthesis files, because doing a urpmi.update of the hdlist.cz files takes quite a bit of time.
I propose that there either be just a little bit more info in the synthesis files, or another intermediary file. I don't need all of the information the hdlist provides, but if I use the synthesis file I can't always tell what the cryptic name of the rpm even does... so a small description (or just the actual name of the program itself) would be in order. After years of using debian and .deb files, I know that when I would do an update of the available deb files it would download a file of less than a meg to do the update, and would still know what the requires where, what the package was, and even be able to provide about a screen of descriptions.. and the avail debs are pretty large in number too, like Mdk. -- Chuck Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
