RPM Delta Compression Virtual Update Repository is an experiment to explore the possibility of significantly reducing the bandwidth required to apply updates to a Fedora installation.

This software includes a server which provides a virtual update repository to clients such as yum, up2date, or other update tools. RPM Delta Compression Virtual Update Repository also includes a utility to create and maintain a RPM delta repository.

The server will attempt to generate the update RPM from a small delta file applied to a locally stored RPM from the original distribution.

What's New in This Release:
This version utilizes the SuSE deltarpm tool as the underlying delta generator.
It features both HTTP virtual update of the RPM repository (using Tomcat servlet container) and command line tools for generating update RPMs from a delta repository.
