Hello,
since I still connect to the internet by a 56K modem, I developed my own way to perform online updates: I have the openSuSE patches locally stored on my hard disk, and from time to time I connect with rsync to
Define patches here, you are talking about patches.xml metadata right?
an openSuSE mirror (using option --dry-run) to generate a list of files to retrieve by chance. Once I have fast access (in the CIP pool of the university or at friends), I download these files onto a USB flashdisk (using command wget --mirror -i download.lst) and store them later on my hard disk. So far, so good. However, in order to save disk space, I prefer to retrieve delta patches. And here comes my problem: regardless of the value of 'download.use_deltarpm' in file /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, libzypp always wants to retrieve 'full' patch rpms rather than delta rpms. Actually, I go for that. Until now I helped myself from that situation by using vsftpd, so I made yast2 and zypper believe it would download from a remote ftp server, but in any case I would prefer a way to apply delta rpms even if the source is a local directory.
I suspect you are downloading plain deltarpms without deltarpm metadata. Can you paste the tree of the repository (local) and the value in repos.d how is was added to libzypp?
