SYNOPSIS
makedeltarpm [-V version] [-s seqfile] oldrpm newrpm deltarpm
makedeltarpm [-V version] [-s seqfile] -p oldrpmprint oldpatchrpm oldrpm newrpm deltarpm

DESCRIPTION
makedeltarpm creates a deltarpm from two rpms. It normally produces a V2 format deltarpm, use the -V option to specify a different version if desired. The -s option makes makedeltarpm write out the sequence id to the specified file seqfile. If you also use patch rpms you should use the -p option to specify the rpm-print of oldrpm and the created patch rpm. This option tells makedeltarpm to exclude the files that were not included in the patch rpm but are not byteswise identical to the ones in oldrpm.
