it is not needed, but it is far easier to do, than "mirroring" a new RPM
archive ;).
for sure, RPMs are bigger than just RPM's metadata ;)

yeap, this way, rpmfind would better scale because, the load on networks
resources would be distributed as well.
rpmfind has a -s flag that could be used manually to check for a diferent
"rpmfind server", i think that making it "auto configure" itself to look
for the closest "rpmfind server", shouldn't be so hard.
just we should find a way that could "scale better" ;)

i guess the qsort libc bug the gets "ByName" with just the last group of
packages.., sorry i can't help them either, but i bet there should be a
patch on sunsolve that could help without a full upgrade.
how about libc patches?
