# setup for xdelta
sdesc: "Computes changes between binary files."
ldesc: "An application program designed to compute changes between
files.  These changes (deltas) are similar to the output of the 'diff'
program in that they may be used to store and transmit only the
changes between files.  However, unlike diff, the output of Xdelta is
not expressed in a human-readable format--Xdelta can also also apply
these deltas to a copy of the original file.  Xdelta uses a fast,
linear algorithm and performs well on both binary and text files."
category: Devel Utils
requires: cygwin glib zlib
#Maintainer: Eric Blake


Right now, I only built it statically (the package has not been maintained
for several years, so it was built with autoconf 2.13 and libtool 1.3.3;
it refuses a VPATH build, and autoreconf gave up).  But if there is enough
interest, I could try to beat it into submission to use modern autotools
and generate libxdelta2 and libxdelta2-devel as a dynamic library and
corresponding headers as separate packages later on.
