Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] Manually check xdelta exit codes.

On 10/14/07, Nathan Jones wrote:

This is needed because 'xdelta delta' returns 1 even when the delta creation succeeds. This was causing makepkg to exit after the command due to bash's -e option.

Some information from the xdelta man page: The delta command exits with status 0 to indicate that no differences were found, with status 1 to indicate that some differences were found, and with status 2 to indicate an error of some kind.

Cool, I was going to suggest using $ret but you figured it out first. :) I'll pull this into my working branch, thanks! -Dan
