Correct of course, however at least Fedora does delta RPM updates now a days so full rpm downloads for updates are rare. Most drpms turn out to be few hundreds

- justinsaccount 11y agoThat's interesting.. I looked up how it is implemented. They seem to pull down the updated bits, merge them with what is currently on the system to reconstruct the new package, and then install that. That would save bandwidth, but not make the actual operation of installing the new package any faster.
