Al of them... automatically based on cpu, memory, network, and size of package, plus user configuration. A triffle.
I don't know. Perhaps some thing that, based on previous assumptions guestimates how long will it take on each road, and decide. The calculation will depend a lot on each particular machine setup, so it's doubtfull it can be acurately calculated, so perhaps best thing is to base decisions on data from previous sessions. And unless that data is feedback to you, you want be able to initialize the functions properly - but that opens another problem, because people is sensitive to to data gathering.
Or from user configuration altogether.
A user on an expensive network will probably want deltas all the time, and one on a cheap, big pipe will prefer big packagaes in full.
It's not simple to calculate...
Maybe some sort of score for the machine, a la Windows Vista? :) A measure of the system performance and profile based on a set of criteria. This could also be used elsewhere in deciding whether XGL should be enabled etc. Cheers Pete --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
