I wonder if a diff/delta creating program could be written specifically for ELF format files. Each .section (text,data,init,etc) of the library/program could be analyzed. It might be able to do things such as detect the introduction of a new symbol and record the offset that the symbol locations after that were moved. A small bugfix may change the binary data a lot, but if the data was analyzed properly the real changes might only be small. Just a thought, n0dalus. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
