./misc/bsdiff, Size efficient binary diff and patch tools

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 4.3nb1, Package name: bsdiff-4.3nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Bsdiff and bspatch are tools for building and applying patches to binary
files. By using suffix sorting (specifically, Larsson and Sadakane's
qsufsort) and taking advantage of how executable files change, bsdiff
routinely produces binary patches 50-80% smaller than those produced by
Xdelta, and 15% smaller than those produced by .RTPatch (a $2750/seat
commercial patch tool).

If n is the size of the old file and m is the size of the new file, bsdiff
runs in O((n+m) log n) time; on a 200MHz Pentium Pro, building a binary
patch for a 4MB file takes about 90 seconds. bspatch runs in O(n+m) time;
on the same machine, applying that patch takes about two seconds.

Log message:
misc: Replace RMD160 checksums with BLAKE2s checksums

All checksums have been double-checked against existing RMD160 and
SHA512 hashes

The following distfiles could not be fetched (possibly fetched
conditionally?):

Log message:
all: migrate homepages from http to https

pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"

As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.

Log message:
Add SHA512 digests for distfiles for misc category

Problems found locating distfiles:
	Package colorls: missing distfile ls.tar.gz
	Package molden: missing distfile molden-4.6/molden4.6.tar.gz
	Package softmaker-office-demo: missing distfile ofl06trial.tgz

Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden).  All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
