Coding Relic: Courgette binary compression

    No one said anything about independent patches, these are all incremental patches. The binary diff stuff requires an exact matching baseline.

    Sure, and I don't intend to disparage Courgette in any way. This blog is about embedded systems, and I wanted to point out Courgette as an interesting technology for making smaller incremental patches if that makes sense in your system. In the systems I've worked on, I'm not convinced that it does.

    I think you're also meaning that my point about 2^N combinations isn't valid for Courgette, and that is a fair criticism. The patches would have to be applied in order.
