Re: [opensuse] openSUSE @ Google Summer of Code 2006

I have one idea - its about to union ability of YAST System Update and drpmsync, so System Update can do update using drpmsync mirrors. In that case, Yast System Update do not need to download the whole rpm-package of package A ver. 0.1 to update it to 0.2.1. It only need to download the delta of that rpms and apply it. It will decrease bandwidth for all, and decrease cost of update for some users. As i know, realizing that feature require the modification of the client subsystem and a server-side infrastructure.

You mean like the delta RPMs we use for online update in 9.3 and 10.0 already? Ciao, Marcus
