I don't think that works; in general doing infrastructure work without reference to a user experience is going to result in a big mismatch between the desired UI and what's available. In this particular case it seems to me we want it to be a dynamic property; e.g. if I start an update while on my mobile broadband card, suspend in the middle of downloading, go to an office where I have a local mirror, well ideally I'd be able to check a box in the UI to toggle it (if it really mattered), or even better the system would use some heuristics. But obviously, you can't disable delta compression by doing a "yum remove" in the middle of your download... -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
