Hello. My name is Carlos and I work in the IT department of SAES, SL
I am contacting you to ask a question that I have on a few files that are in the fedora mirror in paragraph updates. These files have the extension .drpm and are contained in the folder of the same name.
What role have these files?
Delta RPMs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Presto
Do I need to download .drpm files with the .rpm files to create my local mirror?
MirrorManager should correctly detect that your mirror has no DeltaRPMs and only redirect clients which do not request DeltaRPMs to your mirror. So yes it should be possible to exclude those files if you want to. If I remember correctly DeltaRPM support is enabled as default and currently you have to disable DeltaRPM support manually in Fedora.
