[opensuse-project] fedora needs some deltarpm love :)
Hi, let me first introduce myself. I'm a Fedora contributor and Fedora Ambassador for Croatia, but I'm not directly part od Fedora board or Fedora Project. Still I would like to ask you for assistance in one matter that you have more experience dealing that Fedora - and that is deltarpm. Fedora 9 features list has Presto[1] on it - it is a yum plugin that handles deltarpms during updates. Currently the deltarpm integration is stuck because the infrastructure team is stuck[2] in its implementation. Is there some way in which you can help with your longer experience with handling deltarpm files so that this greatly needed feature comes on by default in Fedora 9? Is there some other list that is more specialized on this sort of topics that I would be better of trying elsewere? Cheers, Valent from Croatia.

You might want to go to the zypp-devel as well.

I'm confident that Fedora crew will figure how to do this... but they are currently stuck and if there can be some colaboration that would be great because deltarpm would really help feople who have slow internet connections who do updates...

In that mater the suse team, and probably fedora and the rest, have yet to solve another issue: downloading smaller rpms is a good thing, but currently while checking for updates we have to download a lot of "metadata", some megabytes, I think. If somebody can devise a trick to make the checking for updates much faster and with far less download bytes, that would be a very good thing for all those with limited network connection. Or metered connection. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

AFAIK this is beeing worked on - the new zypper in openSUSE 11.0 will be able to handle preparsed metadata and those are much smaller. I assume this has been discussed on the zypp-devel mailing list, please check the archives, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Thanks! That's good news. For me it's enough to know you are working on it. :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
