rsync - Sep 2005 - question about librsync : patch function

Hello everybody,

About librsync, does anyone know how to patch the delta without creating
a new file ?

I used the librsync and it always generates a new file, which is
embarrassing if the file is over 1Gb.

 

I tried to store the new file in RAM, but it saturates the machine.

 

Is there a possibility to write in the current file to be synchronized,
although this file is currently being processed by the library.

 

 

Thanks for your help !!

:-)

While this isn't the librsync mailing list, I do know that the basic 
librsync tools (and indeed, the library itself) only support creating a 
new file, not merging changes into an existing file.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.

- Do you know if there is a "librsync mailing list" ? So I will apply
my question there

- Have you already use this library ?
For my part I used it, and to generate the new synchronized file, I had to copy
(fread) all the delta file into an input memory buffer (input for the library),
so as to get the library working.
That means I have to buffer all the delta file into the memory.
Were you able to cut the delta file into several pieces to feed to the library ?
For my part I was unable to do it.

 
BR,
Laurent
