Public bug reported: Binary package hint: testdrive
There doesnt seem to be any way to set zsync as the default method to sync the iso. (http://askubuntu.com/questions/15893/how-to-force- testdrive-to-use-zsync/21089#21089) I have tried updating the Ubuntu iso with testdrive and with using zsync alone and i find zsync uses lesser data to update the iso. I'm doubtful is because: every-time I use testdrive, for a 2day old iso, the whole iso(700mb) is downloaded again. It starts from 0% . But when I use zsync($ zsync -i ~/Downloads/natty-desktop-i386.iso http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/natty-desktop-i386.iso.zsync) it starts from 50% or 60% even when the iso is 1week to 10days old. (I have no specific debugging info but this is just from the behavior I'v noticed.) It would be great if I could use zsync as the default method for testdrive instead of rsync.
