ok let make things more specific:
deltarpm in epel 3.4-8.el5.1 while in fedora 3.5-0.4.20090913git is there any significant/relevant changes? when do you plan 3.5 release?
I'm currently building it and will push it to testing ASAP. The main difference is that it supports xz-compressed RPMS (which shouldn't matter for CentOS) and it has a python API (which will be useful).
i'd be useful to add yum-presto to epel too. at the same time which version required by yum-presto? in rhel/centos-5 yum-3.2.22 included, but i read somewhere (and i can't find now where) that at least yum-3.2.23 required. so what's the correct version?
I think presto should work with any modern version of yum, including 3.2.22. In fact, I have at various times used it on my CentOS 5 boxes. I'll see about branching it for EPEL.
also a presto-utils would be useful in epel. rebuilding from fedora presto-utils-0.3.4-3 gives this error:

it's be useful to be at least a minimal manual how we can use these tools and and who we can generate deltarpms.
Fedora is using createrepo, not presto-utils to generate their deltarpms. Presto-utils should be deprecated (or at least, mainly used for pruning out old drpms, etc).
