Description Ulrich Drepper 2002-07-10 23:43:51 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020628

Description of problem:
I'll append a test file which contains a patch.  If editdiff is used and the
first chunk is removed rediff will abort and leave no usable find behind.  Total
loss of data.

This applies as far as I can see to al versions up to and including the current
raw hide which is why I've filed the bug for rawhide.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.editdiff AAAA
2.remove first chunk
3.leave editor
	

Actual Results:  rediff: src/rediff.c:468: show_modified_hunk: Assertion
`!read_atatline (line, &orig_offset, &orig_count, &new_offset, &new_count)' failed.
/usr/bin/editdiff: line 68: 11476 Aborted                 rediff
"${TMPD}/${NAME}.orig" "${TMPD}/${NAME}" >"${FILE}"


Expected Results:  new patch with first chunk removed

editdiff backs the original file up with extension '.orig', so it shouldn't cause data loss. 
 
Thanks for the test case.
Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2002-07-11 02:49:11 EDT 
Rediff only handles unified diff format currently, I'm afraid.  I'll stick in a check there to make it 
do something sensible when confronted with context diff.
Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2002-07-11 02:58:24 EDT 
The check is now in CVS.
Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2002-07-11 03:00:22 EDT 
As a work-around, you can use filterdiff to select hunks from a diff.  At least filterdiff 
understands context format.
Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2002-10-16 13:20:58 EDT 
This check is now in patchutils-0.2.17-1.
