So... I have app-portage/getdelta-0.7.8 installed with the patch applied to make it work with EAPI=2 and higher. But... Somehow getdelta thinks it is fun to download a file bigger then what is manifested... >>> Fetching (69 of 1230) sys-devel/bin86-0.16.18 >>> Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/bin86-0.16.18.tar.gz' Searching for a previously downloaded file in /var/portage/distfiles We have the following candidates to choose from bind-9.7.3.tar.gz The best of all is ... bind-9.7.3.tar.gz Checking if this file is OK.

[ebuild R ] sys-devel/bin86-0.16.18 143 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 143 kB So I guess this is really two bugs: first is that getdelta.sh should be better att figuring out what a good candidate for a bin-delta may be. second is that getdelta should query the server to see if the delta is acctually smaller then the original download. I think first could be easily implemented fetching ${P} (and maybe check for ${MY_P}) from the environment and compare it to ${FILE}, and if it is a match, us it to figure out what is a comparable match found in ${DISTDIR}. Second one coulöd be harder as you may not be able to trust the info from the server, and you must have one way to look up the metadata for the ebuild in question to make sure that the dtu acctually is smaller.
Hello! Is getdelta still supported by gentoo? When I try to use it, I see response from linux01.dwdg.de "Your request has been queued (Pos. 21154)", and that's it, no delta, next thing wget just downloads the full size file.
