AFAIK, SUSE delta RPMs don´t require the presence of the full, original, binary RPM. Instead, the delta RPM can patch the needed files on the fly, directly onto the filesystem. In fact, they are not exactly deltas between complete RPM packages/files, but patch RPMs (or deltas for individual files inside an RPM package). -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
