What we're doing now — as has been the case for several years, already noted in the previous discussion — has very little end-user value. Also as noted in that thread (as in the ticket)... that's unfortunate, because it did bring some real benefits (and could possibly do even more.) But, I think it's time to move on. We have ostree and various container-delta approaches. We should focus on those — and give DeltaRPMs a sad, fond farewell. The last updates just now on three different machines gave me Delta RPMs reduced 284.9 MB of updates to 281.0 MB (1.4% saved) Delta RPMs reduced 14.3 MB of updates to 3.3 MB (76.9% saved) and the third had no Delta RPMsOutside of specific instances, the first or last results are typical. I think it is time to say goodbye. Times are very different from what they were when we added support.
Results may be better for applications that require a lot of data outside the projects binaries, like games related packages as wesnoth-data, built from the wesnoth main spec file, but not xonotic-data (1.1G) that is a split from the binaries spec files.
Disabling deltarpms may not change much for a lot of people, but it may affect a few ones using these games. maybe packagers will be forces to split their data to different specs, how easy it is depends on the build process of those games.
