when I update openSUSE with "zypper dup", I have to download nearly 1GB of packages. I seriously doubt that all of them were updated. It takes me hours to get all updates... (slow DSL line)
use deltarpms. I think it is actually a bug that we don't produce them for factory distribution - I don't know why actually.
deltarpms are bad for factory users as they require metadata updates _after_ the factory tree is synced out. It would take _even_ longer to get to a new factory snapshot being online. But we have drpmsync data next to factory, unfortunately no-one is using them. And the question is how can we improve that? Let me ask you guys: would it be ok if you had to mirror either all of factory or a portion of it before you could update from your local mirror?
