Hi,
now that delta RPMs work after bug 309124 has been fixed (I just
verified this), I think the deltarpm package should be included in the
1-cd installation media, or more commonly in the minimal base system.
It's quite small (<200KB), so this hopefully should not be a problem.
IMHO delta rpms are a superior feature and are a huge advantage of
openSUSE on slower connections, so this should work out of the box
(and during installation).
On slower connections we sure do not suggest to use the 1-CD installations.
They are made for a market with high bandwith connection. And it's installed
by default if you do a 1-CD+FTP or a DVD installation.
Well, it depends(tm)...
There may also be people who download the 1-CD media because the do
have a rather slow connection and want to try out openSUSE without
having to download the whole DVD. If they see that the online update
uses delta packages, this may eventually convince them to chose
openSUSE as their distribution.
Other people may install without network access (i.e. because the have
wireless which doesn't work during installation in 10.3) and add
additional software afterwards, so the deltarpm might not get
installed in such a case.
So if there's still a few KB space left, I suggest to include it. If
not... well, it's not nice but most people will be able to live with
it. Maybe 11.0?
Cheers,
Robin
