For this to be adopted in a widespread manner it would need to have a reasonably widespread distribution of mirrors including fast ones available to people across the globe - otherwise if every machine running Fedora were to start pulling in rpm diff files it could in principle swamp the single server acting as a source. The idea sounds in principle like a good way of making large bandwidth savings. So what is the reason there is resistance to wider adoption for mirrors? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
