You might want to try contacting the port maintainer though -- to find the maintainer: % cd /usr/ports/misc/xdelta % make maintainer > I am attempting to use xdelta on tar files currently just over 8.2GB. > My syntax to get the delta is "xdelta delta oldtarfile newtarfile > patchfile" according to the man page.

One possibility is that this is related to the size of the files you're dealing with. Does xdelta function correctly for smaller tarballs? Is this on a 32 or a 64 bit system? Could you try the misc/xdelta3 port which contains version 3.0t --=20 a late beta test version but pretty stable? If this is a problem that you need a fast work-around to, check out http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/ -- written by the chap who is=20 currently FreeBSD security officer, and part of the base system in FreeBSD.
