syncing kernel-image-2.6.9-1-386_2.6.9-3_i386.deb to kernel-image-2.6.10-1-386_2.6.10-3_i386.deb

14274238 kernel-image-2.6.9-1-386_2.6.9-3_i386.deb
14521306 kernel-image-2.6.10-1-386_2.6.10-3_i386.deb

- with just the normal .deb, don't know if they use "rsyncable", I think not.

	rsync -zav alice:sandpit/tpkg/kernel.deb kernel.deb

	sent 22722 bytes  received 14461081 bytes  21666.12 bytes/sec
	total size is 14521306  speedup is 1.00

- with a gzip --rsyncable tpkg

	$ rsync -zav alice:sandpit/tpkg/kernel.tpkg.gz kernel.tpkg.gz
	receiving file list ... done
	kernel.tpkg.gz

	sent 22824 bytes  received 14252223 bytes  23080.11 bytes/sec
	total size is 14674946  speedup is 1.03

    wow! not.

- the raw "tar" tpkg file

	$ rsync -zv localhost:`pwd`/kernel-2.6.10.tpkg kernel.tpkg
	kernel.tpkg

	sent 45130 bytes  received 13797115 bytes  53756.29 bytes/sec
	total size is 42844160  speedup is 3.10

    this is _slightly_ less than the size of the whole 2.6.10 .deb, about 4.7%

- the unpacked tpkg, with directories renamed so pathnames will match

- an "xdelta" between the two tpkg files:

	-rw-r--r--  1 sam sam 6752045 Jan 16 17:05 tmp/test-kernel/delta.9

	this is a lot better, but still not brilliant.

It would be cool to disassemble the object files and transmit a diff of that.
