I feel that the concept of RPM-s is RedHat's greatest contribution to
(not only) Linux world. There are still great possibilities for improvement.
Is the downloading of 5 Meg. binary RPM the only way how to "upgrade"
a package if all the changes in the package were, say, to fix the permissions
of certain file(s) and to make very few changes in one or two files?
Yes, we (in old continent) have lot of mirror sites of RedHat but the
mirroring has sometimes considerable delays. And we are not the Net bandwidth
wasters, are we?
