Well a repo that contains just the modified files in base between the
versions is possible - but there would be a lot of files - iirc about 150
from 3.3 - 3.4 and 90 from 3.4 -> 3.5, and of course all the big files are
there - kernel, openoffice, glibc etc
Maybe it would not need to have the ones that have been 3.3 updates ??
But it could easily be produced if it is of general interest - and could
be done with hardlinks so as not to take any mirror space.
