Do you mean there is a parameter a user can employ to control the balance between network and processor resources for an update? I surmised the object of the delta strategy was primarily to reduce data traffic at the servers, with a secondary benefit of faster delivery to users with small network bandwidth. I have found the rebuild speeds displayed on my F12 test system one-quarter to one-tenth of my network bandwidth. This has not been onerous, but certainly time would be saved if I could say "Do not use delta rpms." to yum. Recent experience has delivered the worst of both worlds: about half the delta rpms fail integrity checks, and complete copies of those files have to be downloaded after the delta rebuild failures. An earlier post to this list explained a format change causes these failures, and they will abate as packages are rebuilt. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
