So I set up tomcat on a rawhide box and pointed it to your test repo of deltas and a local copy of FC4 base RPMS. Then I was able to update an FC4 box by changing only the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo to use that rawhide box as a yum virtual repo. It worked great. A few notes: A typo in the manual (http://www.wombat.ie/software/rpmdc/manual.html): >In the 'updates-released' section >of the file change the baseurl to > >baseurl=http://localhost:8080/RPMDC/repo/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ Should be: .../core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/ IMO it would also be handy to have a link to the RPMDC download in the installation section of the RPMDC manual. Rpm-devel is required to compile deltarpm (this will be obvious to some from the compiler errors about missing includes). RPMDC wouldn't compile on the rawhide box [(GCC) 4.1.0 20060219 (Red Hat 4.1.0-0.29)] like it would on FC4, but the .war provided in the binary tarball ran just fine. Tomcat needed the xml-commons-apis package to keep it from complaining at startup.
