Is there a way to merge the deltas without the original squashfs? how
fast is the delta generation? It could be done on the server side on the
fly and cached.
Or we provide a set of 16,8,4,2,1 day deltas, then
16d: 1 piece needed
8d: 2 needed
4d: 4 needed
2d: 8 needed
1d: 16 needed
The total of 31 pieces will cover a month (31 days) with at most 5
deltas to be downloaded.
e.g. If the system is 19 days old, then we download a 1d, 2d, and 16d.
Cheers,
Benda
