Is there any way to use deltarpms to get repeatable updates out of yum? That is can you tell yum to only use the deltas from a particular run/time even if newer ones or newer rpm packages exist in the repository?
I've never heard of them used this way, and I don't think the code has been written to do this. It could possibly be implemented as a yum/dnf plugin.
So there's no way to force yum to only use deltas - or better, one set of deltas? I've been looking for a sane way to get repeatable updates out of yum forever (i.e. update production to match your last QA update after testing is complete), and no, I don't consider keeping a snapshot copy of a repository in every state that I might want to reproduce to be a sane approach.
