Repo with only (symlinks to) new versions?

Dear Susies, =)

that’s it! I got OpenSuse 11.2 and the size of the Repo has
exceeded the 4 GB limit. This means that the mirror doesn’t
fit on my USB-stick anymore, nor would it fit on a
DVD-RAM/RW (thus I can’t distribute the updates anymore).
Yes, there are bigger USB-sticks and BR-RWs, but in the end
it is pure insanity!

Do I really need this?

acroread-9.3-0.1.1.i586.rpm
acroread-9.3.1-0.1.1.i586.rpm
acroread-9.3.2-0.2.1.i586.rpm
acroread-9.3.3-2.1.1.i586.rpm

All I actually need is the latter - maybe even only the
delta!

Could you please set up Repos which only contain the last
(stable?) versions (deltas where possible)? This would
greatly reduce the load on your servers and would require
“no” additional space, since you can use hard-/softlinks.
I’m sure this could also be automated with some nifty perl-
script and those “nice to read” regular expressions… :wink:

You are talking of the update repo, right? They will grow to much more than 4GB til the end of the lifetime of the release. It has been like this before. 11.1 is at 11GB now.
