I don't have an NVME drive, but I came across this the other day:

I have no idea what brand your NVME drive is, but perhaps this will

I believe it's because there's limited space on the LiveCD, and
OpenOffice pushes it over the top.

Just wanted to clarify that most manufacturers define 1GB as
1,000,000,000 bytes, where it's actually 1,073,741,824 bytes
(1024*1024*1024).  That means that the actual space on a 320GB drive is
roughly 298GB.

The other 10GB can probably be traced to this.

The steps in a deltaiso lifecycle are as follows:

The Fedora project (or an interested user) creates the deltaiso.  To do
so, they need the old iso and the new iso, and they generate the
deltaiso using makedeltaiso.  So, if we wanted to create a deltaiso from
F14-Alpha to F14-Beta, we might do something like:

makedeltaiso F14-Alpha.iso F14-Beta.iso F14-Alpha_Beta.diso

This deltaiso will contain the *difference* from F14-Alpha to F14-Beta.


A user who has the iso for F14-Alpha (and low bandwidth) will then
download F14-Alpha_Beta.diso and run something like:

applydeltaiso F14-Alpha.iso F14-Alpha_Beta.diso F14-Beta.iso

They will then "magically" get F14-Beta.iso without having to download
it.  Of course, applying the deltaiso will take a long time, so it
really only makes sense to use it if you're on a limited bandwidth
connection.

Please note that normal users should never need to *make* the deltaiso,
they should just *apply* them.  And Andre's done a great job of making
deltaiso's available, especially during prerelease.

To clarify, this is theoretical.  The Fedora project is *not* creating
official deltaisos right now.  However, any deltaiso should build into a
byte-for-byte copy of the new iso, which can then be verified using
normal methods.

The deltarpms are not the problem.  If the deltarpm doesn't build to a
byte-for-byte copy of the original rpm, the signature won't match and
yum will refuse to install it.

I'm afraid there is currently no way to know what packages will have
deltas before downloading.  As long as you're keeping reasonably
up-to-date, though, there *should* be a delta for almost every package.

Yum-presto did originally do this, but only by doing incredibly hackish
things to internal yum variables (which is bad, as presto is a yum
plugin and not part of yum itself).

Yum-presto isn't currently part of yum.  It's a plugin.  If you want to
file an RFE, either use

or file a bug in bugzilla against the yum-presto component.

A couple of things:

 1. vmlinuz is compressed and it's essentially useless to delta
compressed files without uncompressing them first.
 2. We use the program deltarpm to make deltas between rpms.
Deltarpm uses a modified bsdiff algorithm as well as the add
block enhancements mentioned in my blog post.

There's a bug in the push scripts where it only generates deltas against
GA and not updates.  So if you downgrade to GA OOo and then update you'd
get deltas.  Obviously *not* a good solution.

We thought we'd fixed the bug, but obviously have missed something.
We're investigating now.

Can you please provide a sample drpm, original rpm and target rpm
(please put them on the web somewhere and provide links)?  What OS is
the system that you're using to build the RPMS?

Ok, Just to explain what happens here.

User has foo-1.0.rpm
User downloads foo-1.0-1.1.drpm
When the user applies foo-1.0-1.1.drpm to foo-1.0.rpm, applydeltrpm
uncompressed foo-1.0, applies the deltarpm, and then recompresses the
new payload into a byte-for-byte copy of the original foo-1.1.rpm.

The problem you're running into is that the recompressed rpm doesn't
match original rpm because whatever compression format you're using has
changed slightly between Ubuntu 9.04 and Fedora 14.  We ran into the
same problem when we changed some of the xz settings when Fedora 13 was
in development, which meant we had to throw away all of our old
deltarpms.

In your case, deltarpms will only work as long as the original rpms are
generated on a similar enough system to the target to guarantee that the
compression format (xz, gzip, bzip2) hasn't changed.

For Fedora, we are currently using RHEL 5.5 builders with an updated
version of rpm and xz-libs to make sure this stays true.

I don't blame you for wanting to stick with deltarpms, though.  A 40kb
deltarpm is quite impressive when compared with a 15mb download. :)

AIUI, Jon is involved in the process of moving the mailing lists over to
*.fedoraproject.org.  His test messages are checking whether the new
mailing lists are configured correctly, whereas a test message from you
or me would be checking whether the new mailing lists are working for
us.  A huge difference, in my opinion.

Basically, the kernel now has a 20MB initramfs included that is full of
0's.  When you install the kernel, it automatically generates an
initramfs to replace this "dummy" one.  The reason the dummy one is in
there is so that rpm can accurately calculate how much space it needs in
boot.

Deltarpm sees that the initramfs has changed and can't do a delta
because it thinks the initramfs should be 0's.

No.  It's a kernel packaging bug.  See

and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544901.

The list of missing yum options is both outdated and incomplete. For
example, it's missing "includepkgs" (a repository option), for people who
need to access specific packages from non-Fedora compatible repos. On the
other hand, it includes "deltarpm", although dnf has supported this for a
while now.


Deltarpms are working, but, as far as I can see, need to be manually 
enabled.  If we're going for consistency, deltarpms should be enabled by 
default if deltarpm is installed.

I believe it will theoretically, but network printers seem to work
differently.  At the terminal, as root, try typing:
# hp-plugin -i

This should walk you through downloading and installing the binary
plugin required by HP printers.

I had this problem with these symptoms, and I solved it by downgrading
bluez (yum downgrade "bluez*").  I have no idea if your problem is the
same.

FWIW, on Fedora 19+updates, it's a phi symbol.  I'm running the standard

I've figured it out.  I had wine-symbol-fonts installed, which provides
the "MS Symbol" font.  After removing it, evince uses "Standard Symbols
L" rather than "MS Symbol", which shows a \Delta rather than a \Phi.

I know nothing about root (aside from the fact that its documentation

remove the wine metapackage, not the core packages that actually run
wine.

It is.  The worst part is that the rebuilt rpm has to also be compressed
using exactly the same compression level as the original.  The xz
compression format (which is what Fedora's rpms use) is designed to be
fast at decompression, but is pretty slow at compression, which slows
down the rebuild time.

To answer your original question, applydeltarpm never reconstructs a
virtual oldrpm.  Rather, it grabs the necessary bytes from the files on
disk as it applies the delta.  This process is hard on IO, but isn't
very CPU-intensive.  Building the new rpm, for the reasons listed
earlier, is hard on the CPU.

Please do, and please file it against zchunk when you do, but please
first make sure you've updated to the latest versions if libdnf,
librepo and zchunk-libs.  librepo is supposed to automatically reduce
the number of zchunk byte ranges it requests if there's a failure, so,
if it's not, it's most likely a bug.

It would also be really helpful to see how your proxy responds to a
request for too many byte ranges.  And please make sure to attach
dnf.librepo.log when you file the bug.

Forgive me if this has already been asked, but have you run fsck on
your filesystem?  Some of the things you've mentioned (corrupted
/var/log/messages) make me wonder whether something has happened to the
filesystem.

Re: Yum/dnf Search Functionality

Hi,
 I undertook a search for the string  blueray   in both yum and

 From yum I received the following messages:

This doesn't deal with yum/dnf messages, but if you're looking for 
bluray packages, perhaps 'yum search bluray' would work better?

FWIW, when I upgraded from F15 to F16, I was unable to play *any* media
through Totem (despite having all of the necessary rpmfusion rpms
installed). After removing ~/.gstreamer-0.10 everything worked again.

If you've used the same home directory since Fedora 14, it might be
worth trying.

I'm guessing the subscription-manager yum plugin is for RHEL and
shouldn't be installed on a Fedora machine.  And Red Hat does want to
validate that your RHEL subscription before using them for updates.

Anyhow, a quick check in yum shows that both product-id and
subscription-manager aren't in the Fedora repositories.  Removing them
(again, assuming you're on a Fedora machine) should fix the error
message.

Yeah, I missed that.  I was looking for a yum plugin.  Thanks, Andre,

Have you checked the CPU temperature?  These symptoms sound like they
may indicate that the CPU is overheating.

I believe that's exactly what yum is doing.  Now that yum-presto has
been merged into yum for Fedora 19, your best bet would be to file a bug
against yum itself.

I found the mistake and I've posted a patch to that bug that should fix

The invalid deltas were a bug in yum.  And I've posted a patch in
bugzilla that fixes it, so I'm glad Tom opened the bug.

Have you tried using livecd-iso-to-pxeboot, available from livecd-tools
in the repositories?  This tool will extract the disk image and kernel
from the iso and create a proper config file for it.

This is not a repo bug, but rather a (small) bug in how selinux-policy-
targeted is packaged.  A drpm is assembled by taking the parts of the
old installed rpm that haven't changed from the local system and then
only downloading the parts that have changed.

The problem is that a file in selinux-policy-targeted changes *after*
it's installed, but dnf doesn't detect that the old installed rpm has
changed until after downloading and attempting to apply the drpm.

As you can see on my local system, there are four files that have
changed after selinux-policy-targeted was installed:
$ sudo rpm -V selinux-policy-targeted
S.5T.  c /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local
..5T./var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/commit_num
S.5T./var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/file_contexts
...T./var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/homedir_template
S.5T./var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/policy.kern
.M...  g /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/policy.linked
...T./var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/seusers
...T./var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/users_extra

The file in /etc is marked as a config file, so won't cause the
deltarpm to fail, but the changes to the other three will.  Arguably,
any files that may change on the local system should be marked as
config files.
