Hello everyone, This summer, I was working on the project "ZIM incremental updates for Kiwix<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Kiran_mathew_1993/ZIM_incremental_updates_for_Kiwix>" as part of GSoC 2013, under my mentors Emmanuel Engelhart and Tommi Mäkitalo
The tools zimdiff and zimpatch- used for incremental updates to a zim file- has been created. Zimdiff is used to create a "diff" file between two versions of a zim file, and zimpatch is used to obtain the final version of the file using the diff file and the original file. These tools have been added as classes in the existing zimlib library(part of openzim project). Some integration into Kiwix has been done, mostly on the server side. Some parts of the client- side integration is still left, and I am working on it. https://github.com/kiranmathewkoshy/kiwix_mirror https://github.com/kiranmathewkoshy/openzim Its been a great experience working with my mentors, and I intend to stick around for more. -- Kiran Mathew Koshy Electrical Engineering, IIT Patna, Patna, India. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
