These files are essentially binary patches. linkman:pacman[8] can +download deltas instead of full package upgrades, and use them with the +previous versions of packages (in the package cache) to synthesize the upgraded +version of the packages. This likely reduces download sizes for upgrades +significantly. + +'pkgdelta' requires linkman:xdelta3[1] to do its job. + +Options +------- +*-q, \--quiet*:: + Be quiet. Do not output anything but warnings and errors. + +Examples +-------- + + $ pkgdelta libreoffice-3.3.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libreoffice-3.3.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz + +See Also +-------- +linkman:pacman[8], linkman:xdelta3[1] + +include::footer.txt[] |
