Full Text Bug Listing

We have now =dev-util/xdelta-1* in SLOT="0" and =dev-util/xdelta-3* in
SLOT="3".

Version 1 is providing binary called 'xdelta' but version 3 is providing 
one with 'xdelta3'.

So either.. lock down xdelta dep. for rune to version 1, or test it with 
version 3 and adjust the command in ebuild accordingly.

(It requires a CDROM to be present which I don't obviously have, sorry.)

For these I've changed ebuilds to depend on =dev-util/xdelta-1* for now.

games-strategy/heroes3-1.3.1a-r2
games-util/loki_patch-20050324
games-util/loki_patch-20051209
games-action/rune

For these I've changed kde-meta.eclass to DEPEND 
on =dev-util/xdelta-1* for now.

What needs to be done here? and why is it assigned to maintainer-needed?

Thanks.

xdelta-1 and xdelta-3 are for same purpose, but different packages. version -1
installs command xdelta, and a shared library to go with. version -3 installs
command xdelta3 and no shared library.

so if ebuilds are only using the command xdelta, not the shared library, they
should be converted into xdelta3 after verifying it works. also, i'm not sure
is the command-line syntax same.

assigned to maintainer-needed, because xdelta is maintainer-needed.

the reasoning to switch into xdelta3 is simple -> it's maintained, upstream.

This needs fixing:

app-portage/deltup/deltup-0.4.4.ebuild: || ( dev-util/bdelta
>=dev-util/xdelta-1.1.3 )


Does xdelta-3 use the same file format as xdelta-1?

So there's very little chance, if any, of -3 working for apps using -1 now?

it is a complete rewrite, has different format and completely different command
line arguments

it is possible to use it for some packages as rune... the delta file needs to
be recreated for this though

xdelta1 - rsync algorithm
xdelta3 - standardized VCDIFF format

Fixed, and closing this bug as there's nothing left to do (based on last
comments)

i'm not sure deltup should depend on xdelta||bdelta ... deltup is a wrapper
utility for several binary-delta-patches .. including bdelta and xdelta1 (two
different formats)
