From what I remember when I looked at this a while ago, if you use
rsync
you need uncompressed rpms on the server and client (or dynamically
uncompress a file each time) to sync between, and you need to compress the
rsync communications or else the uncompressed differences may be bigger
than the rpms anyway.
No, you only need to start compressing with the rsync zlib patch,
which makes zlib compression rsync-friendly.
