Let's hear what the xdelta3 developer says about xdelta1 --pristine

his answer:
"Xdelta3 and xdelta1 use completely different file formats. I have
considered an option to translate old xdelta1 patchfiles into current
xdelta3 patchfiles, but bugfixes and release work keep taking priority."
I will repack xdelta1
As I already bumped xdelta to 3.x series
any problem if I create a new xdelta1 package ?
