SO, I don't really understand... Patrick says in the Change:
"The size of the rpmdb increases from 22952 to 28416 bytes, a 20%
increase. This is on an install size of 1.7GB in total, so this 5MB
increase is a 0.3% size increase on the final installed system."
Is that just because he used the server install with fewer files?
As directories are not signed, in a smaller installation the directory
vs file ratio could be different, making the overhead smaller than in
a larger install. Looking at the F33 server edition install, there are
59246 files total, 22837 of which are directories. That's a very
different ratio to my laptop install where there are 402158 files
total of which 70874 are directories.
So it's a case of "it depends" and it depends quite a lot. By no means
the overhead is always 45% but neither is it always 20% - depending on
the exact package set it can be even be quite a bit more or less than
either figure.
My data point: I have 1864399 files in rpm DB (rpm -qla|wc -l).
That'd be the total number of file entries, including directories. To
exclude directories, try
rpm -qalv|grep -v ^d|wc -l
The rpm database is 770MB (du /var/lib/rpm).
For statistics, you might want to compact the db first:
rpmdb --rebuilddb
Although that clearly is one *big* installation so dunno how much air
there might be (or not) in that number.
