What is leading you to that conclusion? It's not downloading the entire 4GB package. It is checking every file though to see what changed which in the case of packages with a large number of files can still take a while. This process was greatly improved in R2 but pre-R2 is rather inefficient at best.
J From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Carbone Sent: Monday, June 9, 2014 8:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Updating a package content I found an issue with AutoCAD deployment, a single file was missing. I added this file to the source location and then went under deployment for AutoCAD and used the, "Update content" option. I thought this would only update that one missing file on the DP but it seems to re-download the entire 4gb package? Is there a better way to update a package without requiring the full content to be downloaded again?
