Hi,
Each week I do a "zypper dup" of factory it means downloading about 1.6 GiB, meaning a minimum of 4 hours, probably 8. Would it be possible to reduce the size somehow? Deltas, perhaps?
Yeah, we have some ideas what to do, but no time to do it. One thing we did already was switching to lzma, which saves some of the download size. Deltas are another, but that needs some effort to be done correctly.
Another improvemennt would be separating the download and the install on diferent threads or whatever, so that the next rpm is been downloaded while another is beeng installed.
This was something proposed for ZYpp, but I'm not sure quite what happened. Parallel downloads in addition to this (like Smart) would help, too.
Where will the downloads be stored when simultaneous downloads will be integrated? To be prepared i already made a /temp partition about 5GB. ;) -- Nice continuance of your Day/Night... M9.
