Is there any current work on yum-presto, deltarpm or some other method of getting the downloads for updates to be smaller and quicker? Can you compress rpm's to make the the downloads faster?<br><br>Currently with yum presto there is only one site that I have found that has the deltarpms.<br>

<br>Large rpm's are very time consuming to update and/or install.<br><br>Guess I answered my own question earlier, I ran gzip on openopfice.org-core and it went from 84MB to 83MB.<br><br>Fairly loaded question, don't say get a better ISP, I have a very fast connection at home, and this d/l view was taken at work with an extremely fat pipe. The problem is size of rpm's being downloaded. <br>
<br>Debian seems to d/l much faster, not exact version but you can get some idea size wise.<br><br><a href="http://packages.debian.org/etch/openoffice.org-core">http://packages.debian.org/etch/openoffice.org-core</a><br><br>
wget <a href="http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-core_2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch5_amd64.deb">http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-core_2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch5_amd64.deb</a><br>
<br>There package is 34MB.<br><br>This is an example of one of the larger apps out there I realize that, I just grabbed the last one to use as an example. At 34MB it still takes time, but .deb is 50MB cheaper that the .rpm.<br>
<br>Is deltarpm's the solution? Has anyone talked to all the fedora mirrors to have a deltarpm repository?<br>
