In my experience (in a 1st world bandwidth world), the overheads of rebuilding the rpm (using the delta rpm base on a slow (SD card) disk on a slow (arm) system) far far far exceeded the reduced download times. One of the first things I did on a new install was remove deltarpm, and add it to the global exclude list so it would not get installed on a system/package upgrade. It was a pure win for my systems. Obviously your experience will vary. _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
