Log Message:
Updated to version 1.1.4.
Pkgsrc changes:
- Removed patches patch-aa, patch-ab and patch-ac (integrated upstream).
- Added explicit version requirements for glib and zlib.
- HOMEPAGE and MASTER_SITES had moved to a different location.
Changes since version 1.1.1:
============================
** Changes since version 1.1.3
* Add an implementation of xdp_generator_free() for users of the
libxdelta API. Previously there were no such users of the 1.x API,
but Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com> has written a program for
providing delta operations on RPM files. See http://@@@
* The man page now documents return values.
** Changes since version 1.1.2
* Correct error message format for the case when gzread fails trying
to automatically decompress a corrupted GZIP file. The situation
itself--corrupt GZIP files--should be dealt with the -p (--pristine)
option, which disables GZIP file recognition. Reported by Ben
Escoto.
* Apply a patch from Klaus Dittrich for building on HPUX with the
native compiler. There is now a script called "contrib/build_hpux".
** Changes since version 1.1.1
* This code release is a distant fork of the 2.0 release. It will
hopefully be replaced.
* When 'patch' supplies its default TO file name recorded in the
delta, it still generates a unique file name to avoid overwriting an
existing copy. Use the 'xdelta info' command to see what file names
are contained in the delta.
* The code for writing patches to stdout was broken in the case where
gzip compression is used. Writing patches to stdout has therefore
been disabled. The problem is a limitation in the gzdopen/gzwrite
functions provided by zlib--you cannot determine how many bytes have
been written to the file descriptor without dup-ing the FD
beforehand and then lseek-ing afterwards, which does not work
correctly if the output file is not seekable.
* By default, Xdelta uses a hard-coded 16 byte block size. If you're
working with large files, try #undef XDELTA_HARDCODE_SIZE in
xdelta.h then use -s BLOCKSIZE (--blocksize=BLOCKSIZE), which should
be a power of 2.
* New test program in the 'test' subdirectory, which runs comparisons
against "diff --rcs -a" and also verifies the "xdelta patch"
command.
* Incorporate DJGPP patches from Richard Dawe <richdawe@bigfoot.com>.

* Updated xdelta(1) man page.
* Updated autoconf (2.50), automake (1.4-p4), libtool (1.4) scripts,
which includes updated config.guess and config.sub scripts.
* Correct some backward compatibility issues: strcmp() was not being
tested == 0 for formats older than 1.0.4.
* Update GLIB version requirement, now 1.2.8.
* We really need support for 64bit file sizes... perhaps the next
version?
