Actually from what I see, you're buildging a whole infrastructure around deltarpm.. nice... very nice...
So you're question seems to be not how-to use deltarpm, but how-to build distro infrastructure around it.
But openSUSE doesn't have a real infrastructure around deltarpms (AFAIK).
I.e. We only make delta ISOs to update, like openSUSE BETA1->BETA2.
We do not have delta ISO build factory, online updates, and stuff like that. Building such an infrastructure is not an easy task.
Deltarpms are used for online updates to released products. see the .delta.rpms here http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/rpm/i586/ These are referenced from the patch*.xml files here http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/repodata/ which are referenced from the main rpm-md metadata. See also http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/Rpm_Metadata and and http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Metadata/repomd/patches , although this documentation is somewhat incomplete. -- Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
