UP2Date file sizes

I ahve noticed the Up2Dates for he most part are over 10 megs for simple things. One question..on the BIND vuln..did you avhe to use a new installation of bind? On the interface grpahs what all got modifiied? I am kind of shocked at the size of the updates in v5.

Our package management system needs to update complete packages, so even small changes require the update of the complete package. This is a problem every package based distribution has, I don't think that the SuSE or Redhat rpms for bind are significantly smaller.
But the advance of broadband internet connections works in our favour :-)

Cheers,
andreas
