Great to see next snapshot, but it comes with a problem — is it is huge which may be the burden for users with less performant internet connection (say I've got 2.2G to download on primary desktop and 1.5G on secondary desktop/fileserver).
The general response has been: then don't update as often - or even consider switching to the regular release.
Can delta rpm building and publishing be enabled for Tumbleweed repositories?
The most recent word on it is: no, since there are so many updates, and keeping (let alone generate!) deltas for all them is not considered feasible, since users may have arbitrary past versions.
Well, I guess we could generate deltas for the last two or three snapshots for example. The truth is nobody actually invested time to evaluate that possibility yet. So it's unknown how much time, CPU and disk space it takes to generate deltas, nor how much bandwidth they would save.
We even created deltas for a while - but they were never published. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
