Description Ludwig Nussel 2007-08-29 12:06:35 UTC 
up to 10.0 it was possible to switch off use of delta rpms via YOU_USE_DELTAS in /etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate. On older hardware or on systems with sufficient bandwith such as systems that update from a local mirror it is undesirable to use deltas. Switching them off can therefore speed up the update process. Please reintroduce that switch.

Does libzypp support it?
Comment 3 Klaus Kämpf 2007-08-31 07:18:44 UTC 
I should honor /etc/sysconfig
Comment 7 Christoph Thiel 2007-08-31 08:31:23 UTC 
If we can get a fix in libzypp, I'd definitely accept it. However, since this didn't work after 10.0, it's not a direct regression.
Comment 8 Duncan Mac-Vicar 2007-08-31 08:55:31 UTC 
Do we need to use /etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate, can we use /etc/zypp/zypp.conf ?
Comment 9 Ludwig Nussel 2007-08-31 09:08:39 UTC 
Use of sysconfig has the advantage that it's a familiar place and people can find it in the yast2 sysconfig editor. Personally I don't care.
Comment 10 Michael Andres 2007-08-31 20:21:25 UTC 
Added ability to switch off use of patch and delta rpms via zypp.conf:

   [main]
   download.use_patchrpm = no
   download.use_deltarpm = no

Fixed in libzypp-3.22.0
