No, it only requires writeaccess to a directory tree. If I made the
directories world writable, anybody could run the server (cept I think I'd have
to change the umask of the program to keep the world-writable bit)

Yes run it as games or even nobody. Does the server itself require root to run
it? Remember if it is on a server, then the users often do not have access to
it as they are running the client on another machine. So root controlling the
data files is not of extreme importance.

Already done :) Infact, since the client package could theoreticlly be used
w/o the server (there are server's running in the world) I've already uploade

I was playing with XDelta 1.0.0 as an exercise, and I have questions
concerning the organization.
XDelta is made of a program (xdelta), linked against a shared library
(libxdelta.so.1.0.0 <- libxdelta.so.1.0 <- libxdelta.so), with also a

You can do either. Just please make a server package and a client package.
Especially if you add to init.d.
