It's posible to use or create something like yum-presto for pacman?
Is it possible for you to describe what yum-presto is?
Allan
(sorry for my english)
Yum-presto (formelly presto) is a plugin for yum (a pacman like for
Fedora).
This plugin optimize the size of the updates using deltarpms.
The idea is check the difference between installed package and the new
one to only download the difference, like a patch..
You can read here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeaturePresto
and here http://lwn.net/Articles/329484/
Using package deltas has been fully implemented in pacman but
currently Arch does not use it.
Allan
Sorry for my insistence...
This implementation is in a new version of pacman? or Arch never will
have this feature?
The current version of pacman supports this feature but the Arch repos
are not set up to use it.
