This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative. --update
If metadata already exists in the outputdir and an rpm is
unchanged (based on file size and mtime) since the metadata was
generated, reuse the existing metadata rather than recalculating
it. In the case of a large repository with only a few new or
modified rpms this can significantly reduce I/O and processing
time.
...this doesn't imply that we aren't generating a new repomd.xml ... and it's pretty helpful to have "--update" just be an optimization, and not generate different repodata than a clean run would have. So I think we want to NAK this RFE.
