I have no idea what your mail has anything to do with that but I try to explain it one more time. Currently we have 1) deltarpms -> low bandwidth use but takes a while to apply the updates 2) no deltarpms -> high bandwidth use but faster updates application. So now people suggest the user (or the distro) has to either choose 1) or 2) ... What I am suggesting is adding a third option: 3) Use less bandwidth *and* apply updates fast (by fixing deltarpm). So if we have 3) the choice between 1) and 2) does not make much sense. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
