Hey Neal, I'm not sure where you're going with that first sentence, but I think it's pretty obvious that zchunk and deltarpms solve different problems and, following this thread, I don't think anyone has suggested that we should kill deltarpms *because* we have zchunk metadata. When we first brought deltarpms into Fedora, a savings of 60-90% when doing updates was normal. Now that we're losing the deltarpms after each push (as we have been for the last three years), the savings is significantly lower (I normally see less than 10%) and that makes it hard to be motivated to fix the bugs that inevitably arise. It sounds like there might be a plan to keep deltarpms beyond a single push, and, if that happens, I will be more than happy to keep on dealing with deltarpm bugs. :) Thanks, Jonathan _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
