Port Android's applypatch to Linux, base on BSPATCH

ATTENTION, This library will not be maintained any more.

Applypatch_for_Linux

Port Android's applypatch to Linux, base on BSPATCH(Android4.1)

  usage: ./applypatch <src-file> <tgt-file> <tgt-sha1> <tgt-size> [<src-sha1>:<patch> ...]
     or  ./applypatch -c <file> [<sha1> ...]
     or  ./applypatch -s <bytes>
     or  ./applypatch -l
  
  Filenames may be of the form
    MTD:<partition>:<len_1>:<sha1_1>:<len_2>:<sha1_2>:...
  to specify reading from or writing to an MTD partition.

It's used for applying the patch which is made by bsdiff on PC. Trust me, even though the patch is made by bsdiff, but it can not be applied by bspatch on PC, cause Android's recovery use applypatch, so I ported it.

Forgive me, there isn't a Makefile, if you want to compile it again, run ./make please.

Be glad to help u! :)

applypatch_for_linux's Issues

missing instruction: make -C zlib/

Thanks a lot for providing this port!

I just compiled it under Debian 10 buster.
It did not work at first because one crucial step was missing in the description or in the ./make script:

Do

make -C zlib/

before calling gcc in the main directory.

After doing so the build succeeded despite many compiler warnings.

needs update

The tool cannot cope with apparently newer argument types, e.g.,

applypatch -b /system/etc/recovery-resource.dat EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX:5740544:0ad4aff876f7484297d0d46a76c3c03ac57b6e7b EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS 73bb2866fe973c898dc40ddb1873ca1c84164709 11704320 0ad4aff876f7484297d0d46a76c3c03ac57b6e7b:/system/recovery-from-boot.p
