Description Francesco R. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-11 12:30:39 UTC
The autor claim that this is the third and the last version of xdelta.
This new version add bindings for python

bugs:
- It work fine under x86 architectures but *not* under amd64.
- Not a python programmer, so the python extension has not been testested.
- Not attaching diff from the prior version (it was/is 20 rows completely rewritten)

Re-assign.
Comment 3 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-26 01:20:53 UTC
should it not be slotted against the old xdelta so both can be installed in parallel?
And a new release is out

What are you using it for?

xdelta-3.0c.ebuild

may be stupid to open a bug and then say this, but can I suggest to avoid prepare  the insertion of this package into the tree ?

It compile only for x86, and has a non autotooled build system that make it difficult to manage.

In addition there is already in the tree "dev-util/bsdiff"

* dev-util/bsdiff
     Homepage:            http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/
     Description:         bsdiff: Binary Differencer using a suffix alg

That should do the same work.

At the moment I'm _not_ using these packages (either bsdiff or xdelta)

That said, attached there is the ebuild for version 30c, still not slotted, but if and when needed it should be easy to do.

I do not use it either, deltup is using bdelta now.
xdelta-3 is no good code quality and no one really needs and wants it.
