Operation Manual
deltarpm
A deltarpm consists only of the binary diff between two dened versions of a
package, and therefore has the smallest download size. Before being installed, the
full RPM package is rebuilt on the local machine.
Package Dependencies
Certain packages are dependent on other packages, such as shared libraries. In
other terms, a package may require other packages—if the required packages
are not available, the package cannot be installed. In addition to dependencies
(package requirements) that must be fullled, some packages recommend other
packages. These recommended packages are only installed if they are actually
available, otherwise they are just ignored and the package recommending them is
installed nevertheless.
