Yum .hdr files massive
Hi,
Is there any reason why the yum header files (.hdr) are about the same
size as the RPM files?
e.g.
[pza@hallucination development]$ ll headers/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.hdr
packages/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11108767 Oct 9 03:27
headers/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.hdr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11109047 Oct 9 03:27
packages/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.rpm
[pza@hallucination development]$ du -s *
412296 headers
412320 packages
940 primary.xml.gz
6844 primary.xml.gz.0de5a02528ed14facfc0eaf9c7060209.pickle
8 repomd.xml
I thought the idea of the header files was to get all the important info
from without downloading the whole rpm?
Anyone know what is going on here? Keeping up with the development
repositlry is draining my monthly download quota, as i'm downloading
twice what is really required.
