From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210 Description of problem: The world needs better support for doing word-by-word differences between files. The program already exists: wdiff from gnu.org. Debian includes it already: http://packages.debian.org/stable/text/wdiff.html In fact the a2ps package which is already in redhat since at least 7.3 relies on wdiff by default. See bug 68537. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): diffutils-2.8.1-6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: pdiff a b Actual Results: /usr/bin/pdiff: line 179: wdiff: command not found [stdin (wdiff): 0 pages on 0 sheets] [Total: 0 pages on 0 sheets] saved into the file `q.ps' Expected Results: [stdin (wdiff): 1 page on 1 sheet] [Total: 1 page on 1 sheet] saved into the file `q.ps' Additional info: thanks for helping with this!
Another data point: mandrake has a separate package for wdiff: http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/cooker/contrib/i586/wdiff-0.5-5mdk.i586.html
