Actually libsolv can do a "incremental" update if it has an old
solv file available, i.e. it takes the unchanged content from the
old solv file and only queries new headers from the rpm database.
Ales doesn't yet use this in method in hawkey.
Didn't know about it but it will become relevant once optimizing DNF load
time is relevant. Also, can libsolv do the same for the XML metadata?
No, but there's no way to do "random access" for the xml data
anyway, we always have to parse it completely.
Indeed. Some more stuff to think of when inventing the "delta" metadata
format.
