Description

At the moment, the activity updater downloads the full .xo bundle for each activity update. This patch (for sugar-0.82) makes it only download the parts that have changed, greatly reducing the bandwidth needed for updates.

One problem with this work is that it no longer uses unzip to extract zip files, it uses python internals. The unzip program parses various file attributes to set permissions and so on. Python classes do not do this.

I suggest that Sugar be moved to using python zip file classes to unzip activities, parsing the important attributes as appropriate. This should not be difficult but will need testing. Then this could be applied at the same time.
