Hi All, Well, if you're like me, and disturbed by having to download 21MB of information over a slow link everytime Blackdown or Sun release a new version of their JDK bundle, then I have news for you. I'll be attempting to build, and maintain a set of xdelta files to go from one version to the next version of some of these big files. I have started with the Sun version. So you can go: From: jdk1_2_2rc1-linux-i386.tar.gz To: jdk1_2_2rc2-linux-i386.tar.gz With: ftp://gonzalez.cyberus.ca/pub/Linux/jdk-1.2.2-sun/rc1-rc2.xdelta Using the following command: xdelta patch rc1-rc2.xdelta jdk1_2_2rc1-linux-i386.tar.gz \ jdk1_2_2rc2-linux-i386.tar.gz The nice thing is, the xdelta is only 1MB. Maybe Sun and Blackdown would like to do this xdelta processing on my behalf? It would certainly be convenient for those of us with slow connections. (Some of us live in 'retro' areas, still untouched by the hand of progress.) PS: If you don't know what I'm talking about here, don't ask. :) PPS: xdelta 1.1.1 is located at: http://www.xcf.berkeley.edu/~jmacd/xdelta.html -Neal ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
