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? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
