When I run software update, it says it is updating the repositories and this takes some time (seemingly a long time). Tonight I noticed that it claims to be downloading at over 600 k(something)/second. That seems to me to be sufficiently fast that the changes in the repositories since the last time I donloaded them (yesterday) should take almost no time.
It doesn't download the "changes", it downloads some big files, fully.
Exactly. My question is why? (Or WTF in modern parlance)
How exactly would you download the changes?
Please define the method and data structures that you propose in detail.
- sort the metadata file by modification date (newest entry at the beginning of the file) on the server - when downloading, the client can optionally indicate the date of the last retrival - the server will cut the file at the date point the client indicated
Hint: it is not that simple.
