yum-presto behaviour on arm

[Andy Green]

Hi -

Is yum-presto known to work on arm?  Today I changed our repo to use 
deltarpms and tested it out.  I noticed...

1) On a package where I know the bulk of the unpacked data is some fonts 
inside an ELF executable that didn't change, the compression result 
was... not good

   Old RPM:  25424385 txtr-reader-0.1-417.fc11.armv5tel.rpm
   New RPM:  25465487 txtr-reader-0.1-420.fc11.armv5tel.rpm
Delta RPM:  25465402 txtr-reader-0.1-417.fc11_0.1-420.fc11.armv5tel.drpm

So it saved me 85 bytes from 25MByte :-)

The actual procedure here is the createrepo is run on an x86_64 box over 
these arm packages and then rsync'd on a server.

2) Using deltarpms fails

Complete!

Any advice welcomed, it would be great to reduce this 25MByte package 
down since the vast bulk of it is exactly the same each time :-)
