The i18n patch needs re-basing to 2.9. ping... I haven't forgotten about this, but I've been busy with higher priority bugs (vs this feature request). Re-basing the i18n patch is not trivial. I am not hurry, but 2.8.1 is _eight_ years old! Recently Jim Meyering <meyering> has done a lots of commits in the diffutils source code, I guess he can help you with the i18n patch. -thanks- *** Bug 582837 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 583241 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** state ? No change. Help welcome re-basing this large i18n patch. * Noteworthy changes in release 3.0 (2010-05-03) [stable] ** Bug fixes diff once again prints the required "\ No newline at end of file" line when at least one input lacks a newline-at-EOF and the final hunk plus context-length aligns exactly with the end of the newline-lacking file. [bug introduced between 2.8.7 and 2.9] ** Changes in behavior In context-style diffs, diff prints a portion of a preceding "function" line for each hunk, with --show-function-line=RE (-F) or --show-c-function (-p). Now, it trims leading blanks from such lines before extracting a prefix. This is useful especially when a function line is so far indented that the name itself would be truncated or not included in the limited-width substring that diff appends. diff once again reports a difference with the diagnostic "Binary files A and B differ" when at least one of the files appears to be binary. From 2.8.4 through diffutils-2.9, it printed "Files A and B differ".

diffutils-2.8.1-i18n-0.2.patch from OpenSuSE
*** Bug 588691 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Closed. I'm sorry, I'm going to delete my bz count. Thanks, but that's no reason to close this bug. Reopened. This looks dead. Not dead, just lower priority than other things at the moment. I will get to it. lower lower lower ;-) 2.8.1 is nine years old, and this bug was opened one year ago. I've dropped the i18n patch altogether. If someone wants to look at adding it back in, please go ahead. |
