Yum+Delta RPM, the most powerful updater
I've been using Fedora 11 for over a month now.. Earlier i was not that into Fedora, but frequent crashes of Ubuntu on Radeon HD 3300 onboard graphics forced me to look somewhere else.. OpenSUSE was clearly out of question coz firstly I don't like that Novell and Microsoft's deal and secondly i'd have to download atleast 1.3 GB of updates if i installed it.
Delta RPM is easily installable. Detailed instructions are given at www.fedoraguide.info... you might wanna check that out. It reduces the overall size of updates tremendously.. enclosed is the screenshot of Delta RPM and YUM

Re: Yum+Delta RPM, the most powerful updater
Ya was reading about it and how only small paches/updates packages are downloaded rather then the whole packages. This reduces the load on the network and incremental updates are possible.

Re: Yum+Delta RPM, the most powerful updater
Nothing beats Pacman in terms of sheer installation speed! And last i heard, they are also working on delta updates!

Re: Yum+Delta RPM, the most powerful updater
Yep, I'm liking it. It's a really great addition to the RPM system.
@Kalpik - I haven't used ARCH anytime, but does pacman too offers same like Delta RPM with the aid of any plugins?

Pacman does not support delta updates as of yet.

Not long. You need to download 1GB around I guess. Calculate time yourself.

Re: Yum+Delta RPM, the most powerful updater
Update :- Delta RPMs only work for the official packages of Fedora including the multimedia repositories.. it will not work for third party softwares like Chromium, Flash etc etc.. They have to be downloaded fully when an update is available for them...

Yup that's right.
Still Fedora has a fairly large repository though third-party support may be added later I guess.
