///// vim:set ts=4 sw=4 syntax=asciidoc noet: ///// pkgdelta(8) ========= Name ---- pkgdelta - package delta generation utility Synopsis -------- 'pkgdelta' [-q] <package1> <package2> Description ----------- 'pkgdelta' is used to create package delta files between two versions of the same package. 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[]
