Back when I implemented package diffs, I was told that I didn't have to compute intermediate diffs, that is, I can use the the SHA-1 history to discover the first patch to apply, and continue applying patches in the second list, until I hit its end. Obviously, this fails with the Index file shown above. And in the general case, I'd have to compute all intermediate SHA-1 hashes (and the intermediate package file versions), which is rather expensive (and we'll never fix the index diff performance problem if we have to do that). So I wonder if this is a bug on the server side, and if it can be fixed. I'd really hate to implement my own workaround for this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
