To introduce myself to the javaxdelta developers, my name is Nick Crossley. I have just started to use javaxdelta, and I have found a pair of files where the delta command produces a bad patch, and/or where the patch is not correctly applied by gdiffpatcher. The end effect is that running the patch succeeds, but produces a file that is not equal to the original target. The files involved are about 7Mb. I have not yet identified if the problem is in the delta or the patch parts, nor have I yet tried to cut down the file size to a minimum necessary to reproduce the problem. Is there any interest is my providing the two files at this stage, or not until/unless I can reduce the scope more?

Hi Nick, thanks for reporting the problem. I think it would be most useful if you add your files and the problem to the sourceforge tracker https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=54817&atid=474943 (hope that link works). There is not a lot of continous development going on in javaxdelta, so I don't think somebody will jump at it immediately. You should try to reduce the scope or even find the bug. But if you don't manage, and when somebody is updating javaxdelta at a later stage, it might be good to have a critical case.

Since I recently redid a lot of the code, it could be a regression. Could you make an attempt to test an earlier version and see if the problem is present? Also, a test case would be appreciated.

Sorry for the slow response to this - I have been away working on other issues for a while. I am now back to work on the javaxdelta issue, and I would like to test the regression idea. However, I see only the current release available as a download from the sourceforge site. Is there somewhere I can get prebuilt earlier releases, or should I just build from source? To do the latter, is the Subversion tag MavenVersion_1_1_0 the appropriate earlier rev?

Yes to both questions: https://javaxdelta.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/javaxdelta/tags/MavenVersion_1_1_0/javaxdelta/ contains the original version before I made any changes, built with ant. I also built/uploaded the older release, and you can find it on the project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/javaxdelta/ On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 9:37 AM, Nick Crossley <nd...@nc...> wrote: > Sorry for the slow response to this - I have been away working on other > issues for a while.

Elias, Thanks for the upload of the previous version. > https://javaxdelta.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/javaxdelta/tags/MavenVersion_1_ > 1_0/javaxdelta/ > > contains the original version before I made any changes, built with ant. > > I also built/uploaded the older release, and you can find it on the > project page: > > https://sourceforge.net/projects/javaxdelta/ However, it appears the 1.1 version has now completely replaced version 2.0, so the latter is no longer available! I was able to test with both this 1.1 version and the previously-downloaded 2.0 version, and my test case fails with 2.0 but passes with 1.1 - so it does appear that this is a regression. I shall continue testing and try to get a small test case. Nick. |

The current release is available through the Maven repository: I'll probably officially release 2.0.1 through the file tracker once I have this regression fixed. Thanks for your help. |

As suggested, I have now raised a bug in the SourceForge tracker for the issue I mentioned yesterday. Since SourceForge would not let me attach the large files directly in the bug report, I have placed them in the public area of my .Mac/.me shared iDisk. I will continue to work on pinning down this bug myself, but probably not until the week after next or thereabouts, since I have some other things I have to get done first. I will leave the files on my iDisk until I can replace them with smaller test cases. Nick. |
Thanks for helping keep SourceForge clean.
