The xdelta file in this directory is a binary diff of gimp-1.1.6.tar.gz and gimp-1.1.7.tar.gz. I used xdelta 1.1.1 to create it. Xdelta is available from http://scam.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~jmacd/xdelta.html. To apply it, use this command: $ xdelta patch gimp-1.1.6-1.1.7-xdelta gimp-1.1.6.tar.gz gimp-1.1.7.tar.gz The gimp-1.1.7.tar.gz file will be created for you. Good luck! This isn't really supported, but if it doesn't work, just email me, xach@gimp.org. Zach
