Debian developer and Ubuntu member Julian Andres Klode wrote an interesting blog post a couple of days ago, where he talks about an upcoming feature of the APT package manager.
As many of you might know, APT (also known as Advanced Package Tool) is the default package management utility for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system, which is also used in any Debian-based distribution, such as Ubuntu Linux.
Julian Andres Klode explains on his recent blog post how he managed to improve the performance for uncompressed files in APT, which proved to be quite slow when applying the Pdiffs files, a perceptual diff format used for DEB packages, sources, and other files.
