I'd like to be able to brag that it doesn't download a couple of megabytes before considering each update. Given that simply bunging gzipped files together works (it all gets unpacked as one file), I'd expect bzip2'ed files to do the same thing. Is it possible to get urpmi to (by default, it would need an override to combat a corrupted file) download only the *differences* between its current and the incoming hdlist file? Cheers; Leon
