S'funny.. there was an announce on the debian-devel mailing list only a week ago, about a "release" of debdelta, that made it sound like it was only just recently completed and ready for production use. Didnt sound like it had been "around for years", except as an experimental thing. The first mention of it, is back in oct 2002, from the original author, as "I've written a couple of scripts which are designed to create xdelta diffs of debian packages. These could conceivably be used to create a delta repository, vastly reducing the download amount for an update/upgrade." But I dont think anyone has taken it seriously until now _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
