FYI: now i able to do build and run delta update on my systems, but there was a few problems:

• i use http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/%27s

createrepo-0.9.8-2.el5 for generating deltarpms and delta repo and use fedora's yum-presto.

• unfortunately this version of createrepo is not able to generate sha1

checksum for the repo (at least even if i set it on the command line i've got a python stack trace), but rhel/centos-5 doesn't have sha256 in python my default so you've to install python-hashlib and add createrepo to depend on it. imho it's a createrepo bug.

createrepo -s sha /path/

works just fine for me on 0.9.8-2

If you have a bug, file it.
