DeltaRPM works great on Fedora Core 6 (yum presto plugin)

[Valent Turkovic]

I installed all versions of yum-presto DeltaRPM package for Fedora
Core 6 since 0.34 and they all worked great! I didn't have any issues.
Now I run 0.38 and it works perfectly.

I can't wait to test it on Fedora 7 test 3 I have on my other machine
becuase I saw that it still needs a bit of polish to start running
fine on Fedora 7.

RPM build speed is also much better that SUSE updater!
Bravo for yum-presto team!

What experience do others have regarding yum-presto? Do you like it?
Do you have any feature ideas?

I would like to see the yum-presto status after update with bandwidth
savings in human readable notation. If I'm not wrong there was that
status in 0.34 but I didn't see it later version - correct me if I'm
overlooking it.

Thank you,
Valent from Croatia.

Better integration with the gui updater.

I just updated fc6 this morning with presto enabled
(yum-presto-0.3.8-1.fc6) and i can see this : 
Size of all updates downloaded from Presto-enabled repositories: 1.4M
Size of updates that would have been downloaded if Presto wasn't
enabled: 12M
This is a savings of 89 percent

Maybe your yum-presto plugin is not active or not well configured or the
delta packages are not available.
