Hello Everyone :-)

Is it possible to "optmize" update process ? Each update take 200MB to be download, is it possible to reduce update size ? I have at least 1 update per week ( is not a problem ! :+1: , thanks you ! :1st_place_medal: ) but it's very hard to maintain this package updated due to the bandwith usage.

Steps to reproduce

Install metasploit with Nightly Installers

https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/wiki/Nightly-Installers

Current behavior

Each update require ~230 MB to be downloaded which is too much for me.

System stuff

Apt-based system ( i tried on: Ubuntu, Debian, Kubuntu )

I installed Metasploit with:

OS

What OS are you running Metasploit on? Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Debian

Sure it is possible, but it would require making Metasploit and its dependencies 2 different packages, one that is updated less frequently than metasploit's core, probably the database.

Hello @busterb,

Thanks for your reply.

It could be awesome ! Apache do the same ( apache and apache-bin )

Thanks for all :-)

Since this, the update size has subsequently increased by around 100MB.

My slowest weekly update by FAR :p
