Wish list / Autoupdater
« on: September 22, 2005, 03:49:38 am »
Hello everybody,
i used the Updater today and very shocked about the method which is used to download and install. A more slower method i cant image at moment. ( The Why )
Some ideas how to do faster.
1. The updater Generate a list of needed files.
You could generate with this filelist a compressed file (like zip,rar). And download this file extract and install the files then from local Harddisk.
2. Pack updates for each version ...
for example :
psup0.3.009->0.3.011.zip
I personaly prefer the first method after generate a compressed file you can save this for some hours and if others need you dont need to regenerate . save cpu time at server. and space if longer time no update did for example autodelete for unneeded compressed files.
just idea from me.
