AFAIK, suse does use .delta.rpm as can be found here http://www.filewatcher.com/b/ftp/ftp.cs.pu.edu.tw/pub2/SuSE/suse/update/10.1...
Tried to guess their naming convention, it seems something like "newVer_oldVer-release", not sure why there is a single release, and it's not even consistent. I'm trying to lookup some info on their naming convention.

One tiny thing I am facing is the naming convention to be used for the resulting drpms. This name needs to reflect both versions for which this delta was made. I am thinking I need to use something like: " name-VerNew-RelNew-VerOld-RelOld.arch.drpm" Not sure if this would cause any issues, I mean not using the standard rpm naming scheme. But then again, this is not a rpm, which is why I chose suffix .drpm instead of say .delta.rpm Let me know what you guys think
What does SuSE use when they generate delata-rpms? (I do like drpm better than delta.rpm).
