Could you point me to it. Joey's attic Git?

The official setup in Debian:
xdelta: /usr/bin/xdelta (version 1.1.3)
xdelta3: /usr/bin/xdelta3
I think we should ensure compatibility between operating systems by
having similar setup.
Jari
as today
$ cygcheck -cd |grep xdelta
xdelta 3.0.9-1
To avoid backwards, my proposal is
xdelta1-1.1.4-2
xdelta-3.0.9-2 (removing the xdelta link to xdelta3)
if we agree that going backward in not a problem,
xdelta-1.1.4-2
xdelta3-3.0.9-2
is also fine for me.
Your preference ?
