| 1760 | The package-specific class you choose can affect build-time performance | ||
| 1761 | and has space ramifications. | ||
| 1762 | In general, building a package with IPK takes about thirty percent less | ||
| 1763 | time as compared to using RPM to build the same or similar package. | ||
| 1764 | This comparison takes into account a complete build of the package with | ||
| 1765 | all dependencies previously built. | ||
| 1766 | The reason for this discrepancy is because the RPM package manager | ||
| 1767 | creates and processes more | ||
| 1768 | <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink> than the | ||
| 1769 | IPK package manager. | ||
| 1770 | Consequently, you might consider setting | ||

| 1776 | Before making your package manager decision, however, you should | ||

| 1778 | <itemizedlist> | ||
| 1779 | <listitem><para> | ||
| 1780 | RPM starts to provide more abilities than IPK due to | ||

| 1783 | file checksum generation and evaluation on install, sparse file | ||

| 1785 | ACID style upgrade, and repackaging abilities for rollbacks. | ||
