From 076b6184de2b20e9b26225d93f6f3a7030504109 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eli Schwartz Date: Thu, 3 May 2018 00:10:21 -0400 Subject: Ensure better text editor automatic filetype detection Since we no longer use vim-specific modelines, use the .asciidoc file extension which is, well, reserved for asciidoc formatted files. This should presumably work everywhere without needing editor-specific workarounds and configuration. Also add a shebang to makepkg.conf to indicate it contains bash content.

These files are essentially binary patches. linkman:pacman[8] can +download deltas instead of full package upgrades, and use them with the +previous versions of packages (in the package cache) to synthesize the upgraded +version of the packages. This likely reduces download sizes for upgrades +significantly. + +'pkgdelta' requires linkman:xdelta3[1] to do its job. + + +Options +------- +*--max-delta-size *:: + Only create delta files if the delta is smaller than ratio * package_size. + Possible values: 0.0 to 2.0. + Recommended values: 0.2 to 0.9. + Default value: 0.7 + +*--min-pkg-size *:: + Minimal size of the package file in bytes to be considered for delta creation. + Default value: 1048576 bytes = 1 MiB.
