The problem is that for creating debdelta I first need to do rsync with main mirror and then create a debdelta. As I mentioned in my email, the limitation is disk space on our hosting site. Give me enough disk space and I will create repository for karmic, for amd64, jaunty-updates etc. I am not involved with any effort mentioned by you. I discovered debdelta about two months back. And I setup this repository just as experiment. It turned easier to do than expected. Onkar -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

[ubuntu-in] Experimental debdelta repository
Hi all, I have setup a experimental debdelta repository for packages in jaunty-security on our website hosting ubuntu-in.info. I will try to explain what this means and how can users benefit. What is debdelta: Debdelta is a program that generates delta (difference) between two .deb files. This delta can be used to generate new version of a package if you already have old version with you. Actual generation of delta is done with help of utilities such as xdelta, bsdiff. What are benefits: Some of the packages in Ubuntu get regular security/bugfixes updates ex. firefox. Every time a security/bugfix is released user has to re-download the .deb files corresponding to latest version. This causes lot of download and considering that most users have limited bandwidth this is one of the main reason why users are reluctant to install updates. With help of debdelta, if you have installed update for a package (let's say firefox) and if the .deb file is present on the machine (by default in /var/cache/apt/archive), next time a update is released for same package user will just need to download the delta and new package can be created locally. This usually reduces the download required by 50%-80%. How to use it. As of now if you wish to use the debdelta repository you will have to follow these steps. 1. Install debdelta package using your favorite package manager. 2. Edit /etc/debdelta/sources.conf file. Set value for 'Origin' and 'Label' to Ubuntu. Change delta_uri to http://ubuntu-in.info/ubuntu/ A sample file is available at - http://paste.ubuntu.com/271384/ 3. For downloading the upgrades run commands in following sequence. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get debdelta-upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Limitations 1. Currently the repository contains debdelta only for packages in jaunty-security from 'main' component for i386. This is because of limited disk space. 2. Since debdelta is created only when more then one versions of a package are available in the repository, our repository contains very few of them. As of today it contains debdelta corresponding to latest update of openssl package. More debdeltas will get accumulated in the repository as more security updates are released. The road ahead: If use of debdeltas proves beneficial we can suggest the same to admins at IITM for the semi-official Ubuntu repository. This will save lot of bandwidth for everyone in the long run. Disclaimer: The usual disclaimer applies. Use at your own risk. Onkar -- Passion - Some people climb mountains - others write Free software.

You might want to look for a statically compiled version of vlc 1 (if there is one available). Not sure of any static builds, though. -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
