I'm afraid that in its current implementation deltarpm is simply not very efficient, I usually see <5% saved when doing updates on my Fedora laptop. I would not expect this to differ too much from a a Fedora running on eq. PinePhone or other mobile device.
What could work well already is using ostree or ostree based Fedora distro on a phone - that has efficient delta-based updates built in and used by default. So using say Silverblue/Kinoite or similar on a phone could be much more efficient than using deltarpm + you get additional benefits of being able to roll back at any time, which could be useful on such a new Fedora platform. Also flatpaks are ostree based & should get the same delta download and de-duplication benefits automatically. So using as many flatpaks as possible on a Fedora running mobile phone could also help quite a bit. > > best regards, > Marius Schwarz > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
