System Requirements in Fedora
RPM packages in Fedora 12 and later use xz compression (RPMs in older versions use gzip compression). In order to either create or use deltaisos between ISOs containing xz-compressed RPMs, Fedora 11 or later is required. Fedora 10 or below will not work since their version of the deltarpm package does not contain xz support. In addition,
- In Fedora 11, the deltarpm package must be the updated version, 3.5 or later (not the deltarpm-3.4-16.fc11 release version which does not contain xz support).
- In Fedora 12 or later, the deltaiso package must be installed as well. (In Fedora 11, deltaiso support is contained in the deltarpm package, and there is no separate deltaiso package.)
Using Delta ISOs
The applydeltaiso command is used. The syntax is
applydeltaiso oldiso deltaiso newiso
If oldiso is on a mounted CD/DVD disc, the following will also work (but will run more slowly due to the optical drive's greater access time):
applydeltaiso /dev/dvd deltaiso newiso
Creating Delta ISOs
The makedeltaiso command is used. The syntax is
makedeltaiso oldiso newiso deltaiso
Here, unlike the applydeltaiso command, oldiso should always refer to an ISO file, never a CD/DVD disc. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=569499
