Does SLED got already this improvements? Joao, Valbom, PT
To some degree. SLED did not get the Delta RPM support yet, but most of the stability fixes were already in the GA version.

I have a minor complaint about this ... Because you "replaced" the original DVD images, and I was part way through downloading them using bittorrent, the downloaded files I had were then a nice mix of the old and new, and I've been serving this mix back to people who were also downloading the DVD images using torrent. I've only just noticed, and so deleted everything that had been downloaded. How many other people are in the same position? Can I suggest that this policy should be reconsidered, or something done to ensure the partial torrent downloads don't become corrupt? -- D.S.

We did not want to have both at the same time out there to save space on the mirrors.

Thanks. There must be other people in the same position ... I don't know what can be done about that. Perhaps blocking torrent on those old / new files? There are few enough torrenters with the dvd image, without some of them serving corrupt files! -- D.S. Hodgson - different perspectives

Each "different way" will bring the same problem: There is a point in time where the old image gets deleted... The sooner, the better.

The problem isn't deleted, but replaced / updated. The former means the download fails. The latter means the download gets (silently) corrupted. Big difference! I understand why it was replaced ... it means fewer web site updates as all the links didn't need to be found and updated. Can I suggest an alternative which is used successfully elsewhere. The "originals" are created with some kind of date / version, and then links are created which don't have a version / date and which point to the most recent good version. The torrents would be the same, i.e. have embedded in them the file name with the version / date, and would need to be udpated when a new version is created. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
