      * fixes: "debdelta _append_() wrong number of arguments", thanks to
        cybjit (Closes: #585079) for noting.

  • debdelta (0.39) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Reviewed messages printed (at different verbosity levels) .
      * Inside the delta, the internal script uses shell pipes,
         to reduce usage of temporary files .
      * Set Homepage: http://debdelta.debian.net
      * etc/sources.conf : use debdeltas.debian.net, thanks to Paul Wise
         for the suggestion, and thanks to the Bononia people (Closes: #517942).
      * xdelta3 (>= 0y) can use a FIFO for the input source (a.k.a
         the old version of the file). When using '--delta-algo xdelta3'
         the delta now, in its internal script, can process all old files 
         in one pipe, w/o using many chunks stored in temporary files. Such
         deltas are marked by a new internal feature 'needs-xdelta3-fifo'.
         This is disabled by '--disable-feature xdelta3-fifo'
      * debdelta/debdeltas : store incomplete delta files as delta_tmp_ , are
         renamed when they are completed (and tested, and signed, if required)

  • debdelta (0.38) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * debdelta-upgrade : 
        - properly distinguish when prelink fails due to low disk space,
          or simply because the file did not need to be unprelinked, or else
        - small changes to progress reporting
        - -v -d , prints the URI of missing deltas
      * debdeltas : huge rewrite 
        - big speedup in scanning repositories, less disk access
        - remove option --clean-alt
        - add option --old   (note that, if no '--old' arg is  specified, 
           then no deltas will be generated; this is different from
           previous versions of debdeltas)
        - different meaning of --alt option
        - rewrote man page, with many examples
      * add new script /usr/share/debdelta/debmirror-deltas (a complex script
        that creates a repository of deltas, that can be used by
        debdelta-upgrade for upgrading packages in
        lenny,squeeze,sid,experimental )

  • debdelta (0.36) unstable; urgency=low

        (same as the code), with permission of the author
      * patching : fix forensic report
      * debdelta-upgrade 
        - better progress reporting
        - if '-v' , report info as apt-get does (Closes: #557780).

  • debdelta (0.35) unstable; urgency=low

  • debdelta (0.34) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * FAQ, README , man pages , control :
        the file created by 'debdelta' is always called a 'delta'
        (before it was also called a 'debdelta' or a 'patch')
      * add references to CUPT in debian/control and man 
        page (Closes: #551009).
      * debpatch.sh needs bash (Closes: #547744).
      * debpatch , debdelta-upgrade : report patching progress
      * debdelta-upgrade :
        - provide proxy support (see  man page) (Closes: #551478).
        - download debs also from ftp debian archives (Closes: #472766)
        - better computation of download speeds (Closes: #463671).
        - properly print when a delta is too big
           and when it is not present, or other download error
           (but this does not work with http proxies)

      * debdeltas: add support for Packages.gz and  Packages.bz2 .
      * debdeltas: add option --test  (that does what '-d' was doing before)
      * debdelta,debdeltas:
        - add option --disable-feature ,
        - and add document README.features explaining backward compatibility,
        - and correct some bugs in features handling.
      * Change Depends: lzma, xdelta, xdelta3, bsdiff to Recommends
         ('debpatch' and 'debdelta-upgrade' will ask if they are needed).
      * Fix exit status and document it in man page.
      * Fix -v and -d , and document '-d' better in man pages.
      * debpatch, debdelta-upgrade : if '-d' and a delta fails, 
        create some files that may be used to address the bug.

      * debpatch now can apply patches using data from installed version of a
        package also in hosts where prelink is used; and consequently
        debdelta-upgrade can upgrade such hosts. Thanks <email address hidden>.
