I haven't done as much research as I probably should before putting this out but... We're wondering if there is a way to patch up RPMs? No, not source RPMs but rather the binary installable format. Here's the problem: We cookie cutter build our Linux boxes for our stores (eventually 5 each multiplied by 300+ stores). We're trying to do all the installs through RPMs so we're building our own packages as well as using third party packages. Some of these RPMs are huge, for instance one is now approaching 140mb (don't ask). Of course as all things these RPMs are changing all the time so we want the latest. The problem is we only have a 38.8kbs frame links to each store to download these with. Sending the entire package to do the upgrade is almost out of the question (even if it's say only 10mb it's still ugly). What we want is a way to patch the RPMs on the target system such that it appears that we installed the whole new latest version package. That is, the binaries are updated, the package information is updated, and the package version is updated only by sending an incremental delta between the old package and the new package. Is there a way to do this?
