Do you even want to draw that line in rawhide? To me, rawhide is dangerous enough that trying to add delta updates on top of it is just asking for (more) trouble. I think that -updates* is perfect for deltas, because the latest package is almost always going to be an iteration on the previous version(s). But rawhide might be a complete version jump, or changing toolchains, or trying something just plain whacky. The potential for space saving due to commonality doesn't seem to be there for rawhide. just my 0.02 (insert your monetary unit) Clark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGeDyLHyuj/+TTEp0RAqKPAKDlbfsvr+qCNBYCrbQ2d/QcsiSSsACfQZuM NSyJOH5eUvsvF3eB5BlyzV8= =UGWj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
