Dear Friends, here is another update on the status of this bug. The current version in [EMAIL PROTECTED]/apt--pdiff--0 [1] works well for my little tests so far. I put some packages (build against current sid) at:
deb http://people.debian.org/~mvo/apt/pdiffs / It's build with a new soname. I don't actually think that this is needed, I don't think the patch breaks the ABI. But the URL-Remap stuff will probably break without (so it's not needed in the final version). I use the following line in my sources.list to test the diff apply code: deb http://merkel.debian.org/~aba/debian/ sid main contrib You can even use this url for real package installs/upgrades if you tell apt to remap that url to the archive url: apt-get -o APT::URL-Remap::http://merkel.debian.org/~aba/debian/=http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ dist-upgrade This "feature" is only added for testing the pdiff stuff until it's implemented somewhere officially and will go away once it's no longer needed. It also still displays the non-remapped url in the gui but connects to the remapped version (I haven't bothered yet). It still gives some funny output when it calculates the transfer speed, but otherwise the output of the fetcher looks mostly correct now.
