One comment that is moderately related to this. Should there be a mechanism
to inspect the deltas are remove the ones that are no longer necessary?
I.e. deltas with a broken chain, deltas who chain download will be bigger
than the package. Should that be a job of repo-add when adding a new delta
or a separate script?
I don't know, that seems neat but maybe too much complexity, I am not
sure. Finding out how deltas could/should be managed has always been a
big issue to me, how/when they are added, how/when they are removed.
Hi Guys
I was just getting into understanding the code to see what I could do to
get this going myself. Thank you, Xavier - I think it would have taken
me a week or 2 to put all this together and likely not nearly good
enough for Allan to be saying mostly good things about it. ;)
Now that you mentioned it, other than broken chains and deltas bigger
than "deltaless" downloads, what other criteria are there for delta
removal? I can only think of disk space - though this is not likely to
be an issue. Also on that note, other than this new code breaking the
chain, how would a chain be broken?
