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? Currently with yum presto there is only one site that I have found that has the deltarpms. <a href="https://fedorahosted.org/presto">https://fedorahosted.org/presto</a> Currently now on a fresh install of F9 && update Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 14 Package(s) Update 185 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 475 M Half a gig is a lot (181/199): nautilus-2.22.3-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 5.0 MB 00:42 (182/199): rhythmbox-0.11.5-12.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 5.3 MB 00:42 (183/199): gtk2-2.12.10-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 7.1 MB 00:52 (184/199): libpurple-2.4.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 7.4 MB 00:53 (185/199): libgweather-2.22.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 7.5 MB 00:47 (186/199): dasher-4.9.0-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 7.7 MB 00:57 (187/199): openoffice.org-calc-2.4.1-17.3.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 8.3 MB 01:03 (188/199): samba-client-3.2.0-1.rc1.15.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 9.6 MB 01:43 (189/199): gnome-applets-2.22.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 9.6 MB 01:29 (190/199): evolution-2.22.2-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 13 MB 01:32 (191/199): perl-5.10.0-22.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 14 MB 02:12 (192/199): gnome-user-docs-2.22.1-1.fc9.noarch.rpm | 16 MB 01:55 (193/199): samba-common-3.2.0-1.rc1.15.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 16 MB 01:53 (194/199): kernel-2.6.25.4-30.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 18 MB 02:14 (195/199): gnome-games-2.22.2.1-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 19 MB 02:30 (196/199): java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.13.b09.fc9.x86_6 | 27 MB 04:12 (197/199): frysk-0.4-0.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 28 MB 03:29 (198/199): evolution-help-2.22.2-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 46 MB 03:44 (199/199): openoffice.org-core-2.4.1-17.3.fc9.x86_64.rpm | 84 MB 08:07 Large rpm's are very time consuming to update and/or install. Guess I answered my own question earlier, I ran gzip on openopfice.org-core and it went from 84MB to 83MB. 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. Debian seems to d/l much faster, not exact version but you can get some idea size wise. <a href="http://packages.debian.org/etch/openoffice.org-core">http://packages.debian.org/etch/openoffice.org-core</a> 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> There package is 34MB. 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. Is deltarpm's the solution? Has anyone talked to all the fedora mirrors to have a deltarpm repository?
