delta rpm for yum. is it in the works?

[Valent Turkovic]

If this has already been discussed sorry for my lack of knowledge.

I probably had to write this a year ago, but I hoped that it would happen in
Fedora Core 6. When it didn't I was surprised and shocked!

SuSE, Fedora and Mandriva use RPM packages, but Suse (mandriva adopted it
also) uses delta rpm packages for updated. Which is a GREAT solution for
updates because they are a fraction of the whole download. Even on a high
bandwidth ADSL line it takes a lot of time (and banddwidth) to download
Fedora updates. Delta RPMs are an extreme upgrade to standard updated so
please consider adopting it.

So I applaud you if this is already in the works for Fedora 7, and you get a
really, really strange look from me if it is not.

Thank you for all your effort for making Fedora a great distro it is!

Valent from Croatia.
