The fractions of full ISO size and approximate applydeltaiso times between 12, 13 Alpha, and 13 Beta are as follows: 12 -> 13 Alpha (i386): 38.6%, 41 minutes 12 -> 13 Alpha (x86_64): 38.5%, 44 minutes 12 -> 13 Beta (i386): 40.1%, 39 minutes 12 -> 13 Beta (x86_64): 40.1%, 48 minutes 13 Alpha -> 13 Beta (i386): 10.3%, 26 minutes 13 Alpha -> 13 Beta (x86_64): 9.7%, 30 minutes Based on the small difference between the first two pairs, I think it's safe to say that 12 Final -> 13 Final will be less than 50% of full size. If these were available on the regular mirrors, anyone with a Fedora box, a copy of the old version, and less than about 5 Mb/s download would be able to save time. Someone with 768 kb/s download would need about 10 hours to download a full ISO, but less than 5 hours for the deltaiso, not including the time (less than an hour on a decent PC) for rebuilding the full ISO. No new signed checksum files would need to be created, since only the new ISO needs to be verified (although it's probably a good idea to include unsigned MD5 checksums so people can check that their download isn't corrupted before starting the rebuild). -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
