Hello! I'd like to make a request and ask a favor. First some background. Each OOo 1.9.xx download is ~75MB. This take about 4 hours to download on 56K. I'd like to make the suggestions that a *binary patch application* be used between version in one of the following ways: 1) On the Install zip (hence allowing a user to patch thier setup) 2) On the Application folders and only on the changed files. 3) On the *.cab files in the .zip and the setup.exe.
Some of these open source programs could do the job: 1) http://sourceforge.net/projects/jojodiff/ (dos APP with other OSs too) 2) http://sourceforge.net/projects/javapatcher/ (cross-os Java Patcher) Now, the favor part. Could someone who has both 1.9.77 and 1.9.79 on Windows try one or more of the above methods and see how it'd work? And if you don't mind, send me a copy too. I feel this would realy speed up end-user updates and would encourace end-users to update thier applications more often. Also, since the patched version /is/ the new version Check Sums should return correctly. What do you guys think?
