Not only is xdelta not used, but it hasn't been used for a LONG time. There's
been talk of getting xdelta back in, but not much, as most packages don't
support xdelta and if we wanted to use it for ourselves, the grimoire gurus
would have to create xdeltas for each release, have write permission to
download.sourcemage.org to store the xdeltas, and we'd need to patch Sorcery
to
check our mirror for a possible xdelta(s) between the old version and the new.

I don't think it's worth the time/trouble to removing glib/xdelta from the ISO
(though that part's easy) and from Sorcery dependencies, as is mentioned, some
people need glib installed, but no one needs xdelta to install (unless the
above
is implemented, then people on low-bandwidth would appreciate it).

xdelta's of the ISOs would be nice, though. ;)
