[ovirt-devel] ovirt-appliance (today) is 1.5G...

[Ryan Barry]

Just a comment --

Cursory testing shows that makedeltarpm is not good at this -- it doesn't
know how to examine the contents of the OVA (or they're too different). The
delta RPM between 4.0 (~1GB) and 4.1-pre (~1.45GB) is 1.41GB. With or
without -r

It may take a little more tweaking, but the options for "makedeltarpm" are
pretty sparse. We can try talking to the maintainer this week also...
