+MetaManifest size considerations |
| 38 |
+-------------------------------- |
| 39 |
+With only two levels of Manifests (per-package and top-level), every |
| 40 |
+rsync will cause a lot of traffic transfering the modified top-level |
| 41 |
+MetaManifest. To reduce this, per-category Manifests are strongly |
| 42 |
+recommended. Alternatively, if the distribution method efficently |
| 43 |
+handles small patch-like changes in an existing file, using an |
| 44 |
+uncompressed MetaManifest may be acceptable (this would primarily be |
| 45 |
+distributed version control systems). Other suggestions in reducing this |
| 46 |
+traffic are welcomed. |
