Blocking points raised are: - We need to be able to validate that the delta is correct before using it. We could
+ provide delta indices like we have packages - this does require pdiff support so we don't have to download the entire index everytime, as that would make deltas pointless for small updates + sign the deltas directly - but that's too slow, signatures are slow + provide one delta index per source package - might be useful compromise - we need to uniquely identify package. I proposed we introduce a package id, based on the hash of the mtree (+ control fields maybe), but this does need mtrees first (or hashing the md5sum file) - space usage on mirrors, how to keep this in check -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/21837 Title: debdelta integration / zsync support Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in apt package in Baltix: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu should, like Mandrake 10.2, Firefox 1.5 and Windows, update packages using binary patches instead of by re-downloading entire packages. This would be especially helpful when running beta versions of software which change daily.
