I have a proposal that I would like to run by all interested parties. As has been covered elsewhere, FI isn't ready to start generating deltarpms for <insert name of new repository that replaces Core+Extras here>. At the moment yum-presto in Extras (for FC6 and F7) doesn't point to any Presto-enabled repositories. It does have some commented out deltaurls in presto.conf that, when uncommented, point to the test server at http://www.lesbg.com. The "right" way to set a deltaurl for a repository in yum-presto is to put it in the repository's .repo file. ATM, you can also put the deltaurl in presto.conf, though I keep on saying that that method will be removed soon. So, my proposal is this: I would like to be able to uncomment the deltaurls in presto.conf, even though they point to a non-Fedora Project url (yes, I know this is against policy). When (or if) FI starts generating deltarpms, I would then remove the ability to set deltaurls in presto.conf from the next version of yum-presto. All people who upgrade to the new version of yum-presto would no longer be pointed to the test server and would instead grab the deltarpms directly from the official repositories. I would maintain a redirect on the test server pointing to the official repositories for a long period of time after the transition has been made. I would appreciate any comments, flames, or large rocks aimed at my head. Jonathan
