[Howto] xdelta on AMD64

[Giuly]

1) Download http://giuly.de/xdelta/xdelta-1.1.3.ebuild to /usr/portage/dev-util/xdelta/xdelta-1.1.3.ebuild
2) Download http://giuly.de/xdelta/xdelta-1.1.3.patch to /usr/portage/dev-util/xdelta/files
3) `ebuild /usr/portage/dev-util/xdelta/xdelta-1.1.3.ebuild digest`
4) `ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge xdelta`

Useful for Deltup

Hmm, I tried it, but it doesn't seem to like your patch:

try

ln -s  /lib32/libc.so.6  /lib32/libc.so
ln -s  /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0  /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libglib.so

[Lucky B]

why is it still trying to

Code: Select all

-L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64

?


And please change the keyword to ~amd64.

[Giuly]

I don't know, but they're skipped

edited to ~amd64

[Lucky B]

One more thing, my xdelta works out of the box for amd64... Is there any reason I should use yours?

[Giuly]

It WORKS out of the box. But only with packages whose were built on amd64-machines, because of the integer-length.
to user the dynamic deltup server, you need to build it 32bit.

[Lucky B]

but does it break compatibility with 64 bit binaries?

[Giuly]

it breaks compatibility with 64Bit-Deltas. My intention was using the dynamic-deltup-server with amd64.

[Lucky B]

wouldn't it then be more useful to create a separate ebuild or better yet multilib this ebuild so that it creates xdelta64 and xdelta32 if they're not compatible?

[Giuly]

AMD64 isn't supported officialily, so there is no need to build up a 64bit-edition.

[Giuly]

Updated, have a look at http://giuly.de/xdelta

I tried to build it with -m32 but I got some errors so I did a little ebuild that installs binary version

prymitive, i've fixed that already. Have a look at http://giuly.de/xdelta
And a little information: the dynamic deltup server switched to bdelta, which is full 64bit-compatible.

Yep, I saw that there is 0.7 this morning, I will give it a shot later.

[PovMan]

There is still a problem with the xdelta in portage, where can i get this patch from? (your page is down)
