I did a fair bit of work on this earlier on the year. Anything that
involved modifying the existing infrastructure would never work, so
the approach I took was a virtual repository (running on localhost or
on LAN) which worked with a remote delta repository to produce a
virtual repository that delivered full updated RPMs without all the
bandwidth.

Contact me off-line if you wish to discuss further.

Implementing the delta updates with the yum plugin is perfect.
I'm going to
follow this up and see what I can learn. I hope there are others out there
as well that are interested in working on this. It's not my idea, but
definitely needed your comments below to move this idea forward.
