Awesome! I would be willing to turn my [pacman-git] repository into one with deltas as well (as I will probably rebuild this any time we check changes into master), should we try that? Nathan, can you give me pointers as to what exactly I need to do to get this done? Is it anything more than adding the xdelta option?
Adding xdelta should be all that is needed. repo-add will automatically look in the current directory for any delta files and add them.
Speaking of the xdelta option- can I add that to either makepkg.conf OR the package itself? I know some of our other options are like this, and it would be a cool feature to say "never use xdelta on this package" with options=(!xdelta). Or in this case, since I don't want to build all my packages with deltas, can I tell it to just build this one by using options=(xdelta)?
Just tested this, but it looks like it always follows the option in makepkg.conf. I will look into making this configurable per package.
