Sorry for hijacking this a little.
Is there documentation available on this? I'd like to exploit this feature
with a personal repo (3 computers with slow connections use it); what should
be done on the packaging/server side so that if the user enables UseDelta,
it will work seamlessly with packages built with xdelta? That's as far as I
understand this. There were discussions in the past but I never noticed how
one would go about setting it up.
Not a lot.... but this should get you started.
> pkgdelta --help
pkgdelta (pacman) 3.3.0
Usage: pkgdelta [-q] <package1> <package2>
pkgdelta will create a delta file between two packages
This delta file can then be added to a database using repo-add.
Example: pkgdelta pacman-3.0.0.pkg.tar.gz pacman-3.0.1.pkg.tar.gz
