Interesting, I hadn't thought of using it like that. When doing this, does it download the "from-0" pack files? "swupd bundle-add" uses those; I'm less sure about verify. It would have to detect that it misses all files from the os-core bundle and then as a special optimization get the pack file instead of individual files. Speaking of bundles, is that concept something that you find useful for your purposes? It's not strictly needed for a pure system update mechanism. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
