Also, if you now install a package it will check if there is a security update and retrieve and install the fixed package instead.
I was too quick as I have a 3rd question as well: does it retrieve the full package from the update mirror or it installs the package from the medium and gets the update?
It will fetch the full update.
if the update is longer than the original package, or what? Are we back to pre-(delta-RPM)? Or ist the delta-RPM dead anyway?
If the package is not installed, it will fetch the full RPM from one of the installation sources. This is either your DVD or the Update Mirror. For _Updates_ where the packages are already installed ... I investigated: patchrpm and deltarpm handling is currently not implemented, but will be delivered by an update later. Ciao, Marcus
