I couldn't agree more. But as I have said, we need to find the most simple and unintrusive things that can be done to improve this. For instance: file lists take a considerable portion of the entire metadata size. But if we were to remove them, things like "yum install /usr/bin/vim" would not work any more. And you get similar scenario with almost all the metadata that we store - we store them for a reason and without them some things that people use will not work.
Not so unintrusive, but would it be acceptable if we merge all .sqlite DBs from all repos in a single .sqlite with tree-like schema? Let say we achieve overall size reduction by factor of 4, at the price of more complicated but faster SQL queries. [I hope that such a change will also make the incremental by the XML sources easier]
I am going to experiment this, if make sense ... -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
