I would have appreciated if people would have added their experiences with using the updates from the debdelta repository. What Vishal is/was talking about is the discussion he did about a month back on ubuntu-devel-discuss https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2009-August/009201.html I had discovered debdeltas way before but don't/didn't know if it can be used. http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2008/12/19/better-package-management/ > Onkar You need to publicize it more. If you want I can point it out on my blog as well. The only thing is I don't know if your mirror can take any pressure or not. Also don't know if people are using 8.10 or not. Slightly OT to the thread here but has anybody wondered why usually the odd named releases are much better than the even numbered releases. Is it because just like the Indian team which can't take pressure in big matches, something similar plays in the mind of software developers in even numbered releases as well. I am thinking/talking about specifically about audio and video drivers and generally the quality of the release. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
