You probably need to buy the boxed version for that piece...

  osiris:~$ rpm -qi rhmask

  Summary     : Generates and restores mask files based on original and update files.
  Description :
  The rhmask utility creates mask files from original and updated files.
  The mask files, which may be the latest new versions of software, can
  then be freely distributed on public Internet servers. The mask files
  are only useful for people who who already have a copy of the original
  package.  The rhmask utility uses a simple XOR scheme for creating the
  file mask and uses file size and md5 sums to ensure the integrity of
  the result.
  
  Install the rhmask package if you need a utility for creating file
  masks.
