Has anybody successfully implemented DRPMs on centos 5.x? I searched the net and I found a few indications that it is possible, but there is very little info how to do it. Just to be clear. With DRPMs i mean deltaRPMs. And with implementation i mean What yum plugins are necessary and what has to be done on the yum repository to make it work.

It also changes the state of what you might refer to as 'supported' and 'secure' by third party vendors. Ofcourse you are free to set this up for yourself and work out if any of the fallouts are even applicable or you and if the change in risk and its perception has any implications to your usecase. -- Karanbir Singh London, UK | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
