Thanks again I use Presto almost all the time as I am sure most Fedora 11
users do and it is good to know who is responsible for something we take for
granted.

OpenSUSE created the deltarpm? I did not know that! Thanks for that
small but very important tidbit of information Paul!
Novell developer Michael Schroeder wrote deltarpm long back. Jonathan
Dieter, a Fedora Project volunteer was doing something similar with
yum-presto (which itself had been earlier initiated by another
developer) when I pointed out that Novell had done work on it with
deltarpm and he adopted it for yum-presto.
Seth Vidal, Luke Macken and others in Fedora infrastructure did the work
to integrate delta rpm generation with Bodhi and createrepo. Novell did
some work to unify the metadata for delta rpms

That's more of the background story.
