Comment (by robatino):
Jesse, how would you feel about using zsync now, installing it from a 3rd-
party repo such as DAG, as I described in
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-June/091341.html
It doesn't pull in any other DAG dependencies, so you can just import
DAG's key, download the one zsync RPM, and do a yum localinstall. For
people who have a fast enough connection that they disable yum-presto now
(the ones who can download full RPMs faster than downloading drpms and
rebuilding them), it would be faster than disos. (I'm not one of those
people, but it's still better than nothing, and I could continue to
provide disos with a greatly reduced delay, except for Alpha TC1, which
will still be almost a full download since almost all packages will have
changed.) It looks like it could be years before zsync gets into Fedora,
and I don't see any reason why Fedora testers shouldn't use non-Fedora
tools if they're useful.
