Subject: [PATCH 1/2] new(jmacd/xdelta): VCDIFF (RFC 3284) delta compression
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Joshua MacDonald's xdelta3 — the most widely used VCDIFF
implementation outside Google's now-archived open-vcdiff. Used by
Chromium auto-update channels and many embedded firmware delta
pipelines. C autotools build, GPL-2.0+.

Upstream is dormant (last push 2020) but unarchived; the algorithm
and CLI surface are RFC-stable.

Builds from the modern xdelta3/ subdir; the older xdelta1/ proto
is left out (1998 historical only).

Test: round-trip encode/decode with a small source/target pair.

+#
+# The most widely used VCDIFF implementation outside Google's own
+# open-vcdiff (which is archived as of 2023-08). xdelta is what
+# Chromium auto-update uses for some delta channels, what many
+# embedded firmware update pipelines run, and the canonical

+# Upstream is dormant since 2020 but the project is not archived;

+# GPL-2.0+.
+#
+# This packages the modern v3 line (`xdelta3/`). The older `xdelta1/`
+# subdir is left out — that's the 1998 prototype, of historical
+# interest only.
