This should not be difficult to implement in Yum, basically just extend the installed() check, and add another variant of applydeltarpm invocation. If $repodir/Packages/ is used to look old RPMs up, maybe reposync would require no patches at all.. > 2. Have "downgrade" use drpms to go backwards? Should be a one-line "po.state != TS_UPDATE" patch, I assume.. But we don't have downgrade deltas now.. and F17 prestodelta.xml is about 5MB, doubling or tripling that.. would be noticeable. Downgrades are IMO much less common than upgrades. _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
