Description Volker Kuhlmann 2005-11-07 03:51:12 UTC

YOU still only uses delta.rpm via ftp and http. This is a silly restriction. I mirror the update tree's patch.rpm as well as delta.rpm, but would really like to drop the patch.rpm. In the case of the OO update to 2 final, the .patch.rpm is 80MB whereas the .delta.rpm is only 10MB. The difference is 70MB wasted bandwidth and 10% wasted CD space.

Excluding the OO .patch.rpm and sharing the updates tree via CD or NFS causes YOU to fail with "error loading patch" or similar. The OO delta.rpm is there, but the patch.rpm is not.

When using vsftpd to turn /media/cdrom into ftp://localhost/ it all works fine, but this is *really* silly!! YOU should check whether there is a delta.rpm available before throwing in the towel.

Closing WONTFIX, as this is happening on 10.0 and I actually thing it's the right approach, since you don't want to apply a delta, if you actually have the file locally already. Anyway, please feel free to retest on 10.1 >= beta9 & reopen in case it's needed. The whole package manager has been rewriten, so things might be totally different ;)
