Well, this is "off-topic" in this thread, but anyway... There is no support for yum-presto in SL. My [very wild] guess is that, because SL was primarily serving universities or research labs that maintain their own local repos or are on fast Internet(2), use of deltaRPMs was not really advantageous. I'm not sure if the SL team would consider adding the yum-presto support now that there is an increasing number of SL users [1] that might benefit from it. No doubt it will require a good amount of additional resources and work on the infrastructure etc. Akemi [1] https://www.scientificlinux.org/about/stats/large.2004.present.release
