zchunk
zchunk is a compressed file format that splits the file into independent chunks.
This allows you to only download changed chunks when downloading a new version
of the file, and also makes zchunk files efficient over rsync.
zchunk files are protected with strong checksums to verify that the file you
downloaded is, in fact, the file you wanted.
As of zchunk-1.0, the ABI and API have been marked stable, and the only changes
allowed are backwards-compatible additions
Installation
To build and install zchunk, first install meson and run
meson build
cd build
ninja
ninja test
sudo ninja install
