[opensuse-project] snapper snapshot comparison algorithm
hello, I wanted to know what algorithm snapper uses for snapshot comparison? From what i have interpreted, it does a block by block compare. I also wanted to know how the directories are 'diff'ed and if there is a scope of improvement in the current implementation. Also, if anyone has taken it up yet. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

That seems to be a technical question, and as such, off-topic in this list. I suggest you remail to the plain opensuse mail list. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Well, I expect Arvin, the author, is more likely on the opensuse-factory list and as this might be an enhancement I set the reply to accordingly. Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
