Please quantify easy. Will you do it for me every time it needs to be done? Today I'd have a use for at least 6 variations, although I guess you'd double that with the suggested overlap of testing/staging instances.
So, in other words, you want a service that provides custom tagging, revisioning and/or date-based retrieval. That includes your wish for a dynamic delta'ing repository and real-time RPM generation.
Is that what you were saying was easy?
Again, I don't think you understand what delta'ing systems like CVS does compared to just a "HTTP accessable" repository trees. A world of difference!
I've never said I wanted deltas. I've said I wanted yum to not consider additions to a repository past a certain timestamp so it will make the same update decision it did a week or so ago even if the repostitory has additions.
You said the alternative was easy. This question was just to find out what you mean by "easy". Put a price tag on what you mean when you say easy.
How much would it cost for you to do it your easy way for me - to have perhaps a dozen repository states saved and 10 clients configured to use each of them?
