Proposal: * Create a new (Systemwide?) Feature for Fedora 29 called Delta Repodata? * Finalize the zchunk file format (and name) * Write a C and python library to generate, read and download zchunk files, and package it into Fedora * Add a flag to createrepo_c (and, if we're still using it, createrepo) to generate zchunk repodata * Modify DNF so it can download and read zchunk repodata I don't mind being the person to drive this change, but before I start coding, I'd like some feedback on whether or not this is the direction we want to go in and I'd love any suggestions on how to improve it.
