hey folks,
from the older thread about using dns for cvd-updates and server-traffic.
There was the note that there is no easy way to patch binary files.
I was thinking about this one:
For gentoo-linux there's the need to download sources packages which are rather large in size.
At the moment there's a new project which provides binary-"patches" for the source-files which lowers
the download-size by sometimes up to 98%.
Maybe this could be used for the database-updates too?
Don't know about the internals, just throwing an idea out in the room :).
