Description Terry Chan 2002-01-10 01:50:04 UTC

This was previously submitted to gentoo-ebuild@gentoo.org but was lost in the 
shuffle over to bugzilla.

From the author's docs:
     
Announcing version 1.1.3 of Xdelta.  Xdelta is an application program
designed to compute changes between files.  These changes (deltas) are
similar to the output of the "diff" program in that they may be used
to store and transmit only the changes between files.  However, unlike
diff, the output of Xdelta is not expressed in a human-readable
format--Xdelta can also also apply these deltas to a copy of the
original file.  Xdelta uses a fast, linear algorithm and performs well
on both binary and text files.

what would be a good category for this?

dev-util/
app-misc/
?

Comment 3 Terry Chan 2002-01-10 16:12:31 UTC

A good category for this ebuild would probably be dev-util.  There are a 
couple of other types of diff-like utilities in dev-util already.
