xdelta support in repositories

Now that both pacman and makepkg have the xdelta support, when will be it used in the repositories?

Re: xdelta support in repositories

I did not realize that repo-add also needed to be able to generate deltas. I'll work on it this week.

Ok cool, probably you should either send a mail to Dan or pacman-dev ML to ask for a status update and get more details.
(maybe we would want to factorize this code out of makepkg / repo-add to avoid duplication).
