You call a 5k README "detailed documentation"!?
Oviously we have a quite different understanding of "detailed documentation".
Yes. A 5k document is something I would name a "quick start guide", but not "detailed documentation". (At least the file format is described ;-) (And, BTW, README contains wrong command names in 9.3. It's "makedeltarpm", not "prepdeltarpm". Fixed in 10.0.) One of the last german "Linux Magazin" had a good article about delta RPM. (I don't know if it's available online yet.)
Anyway: So tell we what the difference of a "normal" and a "patch rpm" is and state the source in this REAME for every part of your description.
BTW: patch rpm != delta rpm Regards, Christian Boltz -- "Golden rule of Sourcecode: 50% are comments, and the other 50% bugs!"
