</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; At that time, we only kept those big babies for:

</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; - some test tools (don't remember which one) that nobody use still parse
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; them
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; That's why network BW usage by urpmi is small for checking media
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; (checking if MD5SUM still matches then download small synthesis if
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; needed) That doesn't change the amount of RAM and the CPU time needed
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; to parse &amp;  compute updates but thats' another story...
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; We could try to disable hdlists from cauldron mirrors and see who's
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; crying (I guess nobody will)
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; isn't hdlists still necessary for urpmf and urmq ? (I don't know, i'm
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; just asking)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Well, then they obviously wouldn't work anymore, since by default only

</I>
so even the synthesis files are too big? i mean, if you're in rpmdrake, and you 
click on a package, it seems to fetch more details. is that from synthesis 
files? because it takes quite some time to fetch it...
