Some information from the apt-developers: <pabs> does apt have enough hooks for debdelta to be able to implement #498778 ? <jackyf> pabs: (just for case) IIRC no, but if is it possible for debdelta protocol to obtain result .deb using just URL for target .deb, someone can implement download method for apt <pabs> a debdelta server is just a tree of .debdelta files used to convert one version of a .deb into another, usually exposed over HTTP <pabs> I guess it needs to know the installed version of the package to know which delta file to fetch <jackyf> IIRC apt doesn't provide this info to downloaders, so implementing this in apt would require time and, probably, mvo's motivation; btw I want to support debdelta in cupt in some future, but this is another story <pabs> hmm, ok
