KDE Linux reduces size of daily updates |
 |
The KDE Linux distribution is a project which showcases the latest KDE software and provides a reference implementation of the KDE Plasma desktop. The KDE Linux project is still in its early stages of development, though a blog post highlights some of the distribution's rapid progress. One of the key changes is reducing the size of updates: "After months of testing by many contributors, we turned on delta updates. Delta updates increase update speed substantially by calculating the difference between the OS build you have and the one you're updating to, only downloading that difference, and then applying it like a patch to build the new OS image. As a result, each OS update should consume closer to 1-2GB of network bandwidth, down from the 7GB right now (this is if you're updating daily; longer intervals between update will result in larger deltas). Still a lot, but now we have a mechanism for reducing the delta between builds even more."
