Fedora Core 3 xdelta-1.1.3-16.fc3 Critical: Library Issue Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey September 12, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
This latest Fedora patch addresses xdelta's capabilities with large files and library-related concerns, improving overall performance and reliability.
xdelta shipped with FC3 isn't compiled with large file support and uses obsolete glib-1.2 library

Summary

Xdelta (X for XCF: the eXperimental Computing Facility at Berkeley) is

a binary delta generator (like a diff program for binaries) and an RCS

version control replacement library. The Xdelta library performs its

work independently of the actual format used to encode the file and is

intended to be used by various higher-level programs such as XCF's

Project Revision Control System (PRCS). PRCS is a front end for a

version control toolset. Xdelta uses a binary file delta algorithm to

replace the standard diff program used by RCS.

xdelta shipped with FC3 isn't compiled with large file

support and uses obsolete glib-1.2 library. The libedsio

symbols are missing from the installed libxdelta library.

This release introduces xdelta ported to glib-2 and fixes

the noted issues.

- link libxdelta against libedsio (#165978)

- add support for large files (#155524)

- port to use glib2 instead of obsolete glib1.2 (#136221)

- fix conflicting storage classes that causes build failure with gcc4

- create backups for patches

- drop libtool BuildRequires

- convert spec to UTF-8
