Description of problem: I'm using anaconda-runtime-11.0.5-1 to respin fedora w/ updates. It's much faster and disk-efficient to create the new Fedora/RPMS/ directory using symlinks to the original and update cache areas. The existing version of splittree.py uses the link size instead of the actual filesize. Using "du -sL" instead of "du -s" corrects this. I've attached a patch that implements this. du is from coreutils-5.96-1.2. BTW: bugzilla doesn't have a "anaconda-runtime" category, so I'm posting this against anaconda.
Created attachment 130865 [details] Patch to fix symlink file size issue
... splittree also needs to be integrated with createrepo/pkgorder changes.
Applied in rawhide so I don't loose in integration work
