They don't work because we compose updates wrong. Instead of building on top of previous updates, we throw them away and rebuild from the latest. Since we don't merge previous composes into a new compose, we are missing too much stuff for DeltaRPMs to be continuously useful. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
