If we were going to get rid of the xml format altogether I would recommend: 1. using the sqlitedb's as an optimization and non-api-breaking test in 3.0.X or so
2. figure out what improvements we could make to the db format to make searching faster or to make it smaller on disk. This would mean working out the right indexes, etc. 3. See if we could figure out a nice or simple way of providing an sql-diff or even a binary-diff for updates to the metadata. The thing I like about having the xml around though is that it is human readable in a pinch. The sqlite is not. -sv perhaps we could make it so that we generate the metadata in xml and in the "new" format whatever that maybe. We can then have yum use the new forman and humans can read the xml. ~Ahmed _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
