Right now, the meta data in my /var/cache/yum/development amounts to about 65 MB which alone would take 5 hours to download via a standard analog modem connection! I'm looking into generating deltas for the xml, but there are a few other things on my plate at the moment. The real issue is that it's not always xml files that we download...sometimes we get sqlite files. What we need is to have a program that uses the modified bsdiff algorithm in deltarpm to generate differences between regular files, not just deltarpms. Jonathan
