Created attachment 481178 [details] 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).
As it's an internal only RFE atm. ... moving to 6.2.

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.
