hi what's the current status of deltarpms and presto for centos? i'm just rebuild deltarpms, presto-utils, yum-presto packages from fedora for centos. is there any plan to add them to centos extras? what's the current state? i'm interested about not just using but generating deltarpms enabled repositories. imho it can save a lot's of bandwith for everybody (not to mention if presto will use google's courgette algorithm too). thanks in advance.
FWIW, deltarpm is already in EPEL and I don't mind putting yum-presto there as well (though both would probably be better served in CentOS extras if we want CentOS to use them).
There are currently test CentOS 5.4 repositories with deltarpms at http://lesloueizeh.com/centos5 (though they get updated manually, which means not too frequently).
ok let make things more specific:
deltarpm in epel 3.4-8.el5.1 while in fedora 3.5-0.4.20090913git is there any significant/relevant changes? when do you plan 3.5 release?
i'd be useful to add yum-presto to epel too. at the same time which version required by yum-presto? in rhel/centos-5 yum-3.2.22 included, but i read somewhere (and i can't find now where) that at least yum-3.2.23 required. so what's the correct version?
also a presto-utils would be useful in epel. rebuilding from fedora presto-utils-0.3.4-3 gives this error: -------------------------------------- byte-compiling /var/tmp/presto-utils-0.3.4-3.el5-root-lfarkas/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/presto-utils/deltarpmd.py to deltarpmd.pyc File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/presto-utils/deltarpmd.py", line 98 class Builder(): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax -------------------------------------- while running: -------------------------------------- # createdeltarpms . drpms /usr/bin/python: module presto-utils.gendeltarpms not found -------------------------------------- gives the above error on centos-5.4
it's be useful to be at least a minimal manual how we can use these tools and and who we can generate deltarpms.
As for presto and courgette, I'll respond to that at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512515
ok i respond there too.
