Zchunk is a new compression format designed to allow for highly efficient deltas. When Fedora's metadata is compressed using zchunk, dnf will download only the differences between any earlier copies of the metadata and the current version. How does this work with distribution upgrades? If we only produce zchunk compressed metadata, but dnf in f28 doesn't even understand it, that seems wrong. josh _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/6TQXRLW7AA4KLQNZFT2YPXOEOPUPQ7FI/
