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.

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-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
