Sorry, I should have clarified. I don't think cfile.c needs changing. It does seem to me that we would have to run separate mkdiffs for each block that we would delta, which, from what I remembered from the last time I looked at this code, would involve opening and closing separate cfiles for each block. Having said that, I've just scanned the code in makedeltarpm.c, and I'm not sure why I thought that. Anyhow, you know this code far better than I do, and I didn't get much beyond the initial "this is not going to be trivial" assessment (at least for me). Jonathan
