Hello there,

JFTR, http://xdelta.org/ reads:

| This is a maintenence release: Xdelta 1.1.4 remains substantially
| unchanged since 1999. This release fixes a bug: Compressed data from
| 32-bit platforms failed to decompress on 64-bit platforms. This is fixed
| in the decoder (it was a badly-designed "hint", now ignored), so you can
| now read old 32-bit patches on 64-bit platforms. Patches produced by
| 1.1.4 are still readable by 1.1.3 on the same platform. Still, Xdelta
| 1.1.x is losing its edge.

Yep, xdelta3 has been packaged seperately, cf.
http://packages.qa.debian.org/xdelta3
FWIW, this closes #264142 and #325872 ...

Cheers,
Flo

Closes: 691336
Changes:
 xdelta (1.2.0-1) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream release 1.2.0 (2026-09-25).  The 1.x line lives in the
     xdelta1/ subdirectory of the jmacd/xdelta monorepo, and since 1.2.0
     upstream attaches a tarball of just that subdirectory to the GitHub
     release.  It already unpacks with the sources at the top level, so it
     is used as the orig tarball unchanged: no repack, and no +ds suffix.
   * Rebase the packaging onto the upstream CMake build system and drop the
     Autotools machinery.
   * Rebuild debian/patches for 1.2.0.  Dropped, as obsolete or already
     upstream: the glib1-to-glib2 switch, the xdelta.m4 rewrite, the explicit
     libedsio link, the static xd_handle_table declaration and the 64-bit
     allocation fix.  The Hurd build workaround goes too, as upstream removed
     the only file it patched (test/xdeltatest.c).  The remaining patches are
     refreshed, and two new ones provide what the CMake build is missing
     (versioned shared libraries and the pkg-config file).
   * Build libxdelta and libedsio as shared objects with SOVERSION 2 and 0,
     matching the libtool -version-info values of the Autotools build, and
     install them into the multiarch directory with the headers directly in
     /usr/include.  Neither the SONAMEs nor the libxdelta2-dev interface change.
   * Drop the Autotools-only artefacts that the new build system does not
     produce: xdelta-config, the libtool .la files, the static libraries, the
     aclocal macro and the ancient-libtool lintian override that went with them.
     Nothing in the archive build-depends on libxdelta2-dev.
   * Keep the shared library symbols and the dependency in step with 1.2.0: the
     new xdp_generator_free symbol makes the xdelta binary depend on the current
     libxdelta2t64 instead of the stale 1.1.3 minimum, and the hand-written
     shlibs file that pinned it is dropped.
   * Add an autopkgtest exercising the delta/patch round trip, including the
     transparent gzip path.
   * Target experimental: the build system change still needs a full archive
     build and a lintian run before it can move to unstable.
   * Packaging the upstream 1.2.0 line closes the request to upgrade from 1.1.3
     (Closes: #691336).
