Well, 5GB is what the FACTORY-Update module shows it needs to install - not sure if that's download (i.e. before installation) or installed size, could be the latter. In that case, might be a good idea to have that displayed somewhere ;-)
The solution to your problem contains two parts (and both are worked on):
- Factory will push out smaller deltas. So you only need to download let's say 400MB instead of 5GB.
- zypper will download these files first before starting installation.
Both sound interesting and could surely help. OTOH, I tend to have the feeling that applying deltas takes long enough that a download of the full package is often faster.
Keeping files for 24 hours sounds like an interesting idea, but I have no idea how to implement this technically. If a new factory has built, it's pushed out by a script. That script first uploades the new files and then deletes the old ones. Hmm, it could keep an index to see when it uploaded specific files and delete from there. Need to think about it.
The script could keep an index of when files became obsolete (instead of deleting them right away) and only delete those that have that date more than 24 hours in the past.
