Overview

The swupd-server project provides a reference implementation of a software update server-side component that generates update content consumable by a software update client (swupd-client). Update content includes manifests that describe incremental changes in the OS from build to build, binary deltas, full copies of files (fullfiles) that were added/changed from a previous build, and packs composed of binary deltas and/or fullfiles.
