Hi!
Is there any good reason, why koji doesn't also create the sqlite
database with createrepo (passing -d option)?
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.
For slow arches, it would speed up the init phase of the
build-root...
For the fast arches, well it would also be faster I think...
If someone is going to change/try that. Let me know the progress. I
tried that on our Alpha Koji, but encountered a problem...
