createrepo in koji also uses the --update flag if a previous repo
exists. This causes it to parse the existing repodata and reuse it for
all packages that haven't changed. This is a *huge* increase in speed,
since only 1 or 2 packages have changed between repo regens in the
normal case.
I'm not sure if --update will work with sqlite database, but if not, I'd
like to see that support added before changing the createrepo call.
I'm quite sure --update doesn't work with sqlite databases. They get
recreated each time AFAICS. In my case, it makes sense, as our Alpha
builders do need a lot of CPU (and time) to create the sqlite database
on their own. The kojihub is a dual cpu intel machine - and is the only
machine doing createrepo - and is very fast in doing so...
If I find some time I'll post the request to work-in sqlite-support into
--update on the correct m/l.
Best,
