Zsync
For updating a previous version of an iso you can use zsync, run the command from the same directory as your existing iso. zsync uses a control file to determine whether any blocks in the file are already known to the downloader, and only downloads the new blocks. If you don't have a previous iso zsync is still a good option, it will recover an interrupted download.
To install ZSync you need to have the Dag repository enabled:
The following command will configure the Dag repository on SME Server. EDIT NOT COMPLETE!
To create an entry in the database for the epel repository we open put the following commands in a terminal
window or in a shell window:
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set epel repository \
Name 'SME Server - epel' \ BaseURL 'http://<http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch' \ EnableGroups yes \ GPGCheck yes \ Visible no \ status disabled
To enable the changes:
signal-event yum-modify
Just to be sure, give yum a fresh start:
yum clean all
After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:
signal-event yum-modify
yum install zsync --enablerepo=dag [no need to reboot]
cp smeserver-7.3-i386.iso smeserver-7.4beta1-i386.iso [if you have a previous .iso] zsync http://smemirror.fullnet.co.uk/releases/testing/7/iso/i386/smeserver-7.4beta1-i386.iso.zsync cp smeserver-8.0beta1-i386.iso smeserver-8.0beta2-i386.iso [if you have a previous .iso] zsync http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/testing/8.0/iso/i386/smeserver-8.0beta2-i386.iso.zsync
