Sorry for hijacking this a little.
Is there documentation available on this? I'd like to exploit this feature with a personal repo (3 computers with slow connections use it); what should be done on the packaging/server side so that if the user enables UseDelta, it will work seamlessly with packages built with xdelta? That's as far as I understand this. There were discussions in the past but I never noticed how one would go about setting it up.
pkgdelta --help
Not a lot.... but this should get you started. pkgdelta (pacman) 3.3.0 Usage: pkgdelta [-q] <package1> <package2> pkgdelta will create a delta file between two packages This delta file can then be added to a database using repo-add. Example: pkgdelta pacman-3.0.0.pkg.tar.gz pacman-3.0.1.pkg.tar.gz
