Fedora Core 4: FEDORA-2005-876 Critical: xdelta Large File Fix

This release introduces xdelta ported to glib-2 and fixes the noted issues.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-876 2005-09-12 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : xdelta Version : 1.1.3 Release : 17.fc4 Summary : A binary file delta generator and an RCS replacement library. Description : 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: xdelta shipped with FC4 isn't compiled with large file support and uses obsolete glib-1.2 library. The libedsio symbols are missing from the installed libxdelta library.
