Hello users and developers,
We had presented deltametadata project at DevConf.CZ 2017[0], goal of
this project is to minimize bandwidth required on clients to update
repository metadata (repomd.xml, primary.xml, etc.) which would
improve user experience with DNF.
So, we have DNF plugin which acts
How to try it?
1. dnf -y copr enable @rpm-software-management/deltamd
2. dnf -y install dnf-plugin-zsync
If something doesn't work, look into /var/log/dnf.log.
We would like you to try it out and give feedback, it is very
important for us! Just send it as reply to this message..

I installed this a few days ago on F25. Yesterday, I didn't pay much
attention, but dnf updated the system successfully.
Today, it also worked, and I noticed that it didn't even bother
downloading the Updates repository. It only refreshed the test-updates
repository, and everything ran fine again.
This is a winner if it keeps doing that, as the updates repository is
at 21 MB now. If most of that can be skipped every day, a real win for
bandwidth, and a speed up in time to update too.
Thanks for this, great addition to dnf.
