RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

enable-delta-rpms-in-the-local-repository.patch
Description of problem:
The local.py plugin for yum provides support for a local repository by running the createrepo command. Now that createrepo supports deltarpm local.py adds few config options for that.
The attached patch adds 3 more config options wit sane default values. If enabled (disabled by default) the createrepo command will be executed with such parameters that it will generate delta rpms for the local repository. The patch is against latest git master.
This is useful if you decide to export the local repo to other systems in the network and want to use drpms to reduce bandwidth utilization (e.g. when the local network is overloaded or very slow).

I think it'd be better to do delta stuff in the part of the process that exports everything. I think directly exporting the local repo. is probably a bad idea.
