tdmsync

This library allows to update local file to its remote version stored on web server. It uses the algorithm of rsync to reduce download size, and is very similar to zsync (in fact, is a simplified version of it). It was originally made as better system of differential updates for The Dark Mod game.

Build

In order to build tdmsync, you should install:

1. cmake for build system
2. conan for getting libcurl

If you don't want to mess with libcurl, you can set WITH_CURL=OFF in CMake configuration. Then you don't need to install conan, but you won't be able to update files over HTTP (i.e. you will be limited to local updates).

Testing

Here is how you can run fuzz-testing.

1. Build tdmsync with libcurl (see build.bat).
2. pip install cherrypy
3. Copy fuzz.py and cherryserv.py to directory with binaries.
4. Run cherryserv.py there to start web server.
5. Run fuzz.py to start infinite testing loop.

If you don't want to mess with curl, you can also test local updates. To do so, set g_local = True in fuzz.py and skip steps 2 and 4.
