Both my systems are already up-to-date. I'm just getting the images for backup, new installs and to share via torrent.
I saw one poster mention rsync. I would expect the rebuilds had lots of underlying lib changes along with some higher-level code. I suspect rsync wouldn't match a lot.
More than you think. My local yum RPM repositories mirror rsync on 4.6 matched 60% of the existing stuff (exclusive of the ISOs, which I haven't synced yet). When you are talking gigabytes, that isn't anything to sneeze at.
That's right. I'm surprised so much matched up. I guess that I wasn't thinking deep enough. A point release would tend to be less radically changed than a new release.
Good to know.
