Dear Maintainer,
 When using debdelta and say you get a .deb with some issue in making
the delta and then later applying that, debdelta tries to send logs to
the server. Now it's very difficult to know if the logs have been sent
or the process slept/zombified. Either give a progress bar or a
percentage bar which tells alongwith the upload kilobyte rate.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear shirish शिरीष

The problem is that the server part was never deployed. So the program
was waiting forever for a service that was not there.

In the latest version I disabled sending of error logs to the server.

I I will ever implement the server part , then I will reactivate the
"send the logs" feature in debdelta, and I will add a timeout.

Cheers,

a.
