are your repositories deltarpm comaptible?

[Valent Turkovic]

Full update gave me great results! - 75% savings !!!

So please consider enabling deltarpm on freshrms repository.

I can only say that deltarpm is a great idea, and works great in practice.

It is maybe little less needed for repos like yours because people
mainly download from you, and update is secondary. But also when new
packages arrive then old packages will be updated.

You should think how to enable more and more people to use linux, and
great repos like yours is a really big benefit to fedora users.

There are millions of people with dialup and other slow connections on
our planet and updates for them are almost impossible. Or students
with laptops who can do some big installs when they are at ther
university but at home have also slow connection.

For all of them bandwidth is scarce and deltarpms is a great solution
to that problem so please do all you can with implementing it.

Thank you in advance.

Valent from Croatia.
