That doesn't work, before yum checks the signatures it checks the createrepo checksum ... which is a sha256 (or whatever) of the entire rpm¹. So deltarpm must produce exactly the same bits. ¹ Asking someone to change this to be the headers plus uncompressed data is likely to be unhealthy for you. -- James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
