Feature changed by: Gerald Pfeifer <gp@novell.com> Feature #303532, revision 14 Title: Reduce size of updates for openSUSE Factory Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.0: Rejected by Stephan Kulow <coolo@novell.com> reject date: 2008-06-06 09:06:29 reject reason: not really attached to a specific openSUSE version Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.1: Rejected by Adrian Schröter <adrian@novell.com> reject date: 2008-11-06 16:10:03 reject reason: This is a build service feature, but no distribution feature. Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Michael Loeffler <michl@novell.com> + Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Each update currently is around 2GB which is already much for broadband bandwith. For user with less bandwith it's by and large impossible to use Factory. Goal is to reduce size of updates and stay with frequent updates to offer latest software to the user. As we want more people using Factory it's usage needs to be conveniant. Discussion: #1: Stephan Kulow <coolo@novell.com> (2008-03-27 16:48:43) According to discussions with Rudi and mls, the delta setup on dist need to be changed to also contain the rpm header and the deltas need to be indexed in a way that zypp will see them. So we can still use drpmsync for internal distribution and put the deltas only in instsource for mirrors. #2: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar@novell.com> (2008-04-22 13:28:56) This will happen automatically once the remaining parts of libzypp deltarpm handling are finished. We only need to agree on the format. I will propose something today. #3: Duncan Mac-Vicar <dmacvicar@novell.com> (2008-05-26 17:09:31) ZYpp side is done. The only thing that needs to be done is to generate the deltarpm metadata in factory. I will post link to documentation and examples shortly. + #4: Gerald Pfeifer <gp@novell.com> (2009-01-03 14:54:00) + Opening this up for openSUSE.org. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=303532
