I was thinking more about something like 5 drpms;
Also, i didnt realise one could do arbitary point in time drpms. I
thought it was just --num-deltas XX, and it would generate XX of the
latest e:v-r deltas. How does one have createrepo generate
$release->current and $current-1 -> $current ?
or is it a case of just generating all of them and rm -f'ing them before
push to mirror ?
