No no no no no !
If from -1 to -3 is 300K, then upgrading from -2 to -3 would still be
300K.
Of course, this raises the point that the names of the original files in
-1 will have to be retained after updates, as well as the names of files
replacing them, in order to make the additional updates. (And remove
any interim updates subsequently replaced.)
But what append if a file modified in an update is rolled back in a
subsequent update?
it must be keept track of and repackaged in the new update
This could be facilitated by making the names of the replacement files
in delta updates the original file name + a suffix corresponding to the
delta update.
I don't understand, the files need to have the correct name to work once
installed, or are you proposing that on an update to keep all previous files
by suffixing them?
this is not clear to me as well, André, could you rephrase?
