#578 forking feature should use hardlinks to save some storage
Closed 5 years ago by msuchy. Opened 5 years ago by praiskup.

The most interesting storage save would be during the rawhide_to_release run, which internally uses forking.


It will not save anything, because after the forking the forked packages are re-signed by the new project GPG key, so resulting rpm is binary different from the original one.

The GPG feature is opt-in, and more - what is the point of re-signing the packages? Wouldn't it be OK to simply sign only new RPMs?

Also, you can view this request as "optimization" request, since ln is usually faster than cp.
