Summary: 0000235: rcsdiff not calling /opt/csw/bin/diff
Description: rcsdiff needs to be compiled with --with-diffutils, otherwise it uses /usr/bin/diff. This causes a problem with cvsweb because it assumes diff -u is available, but Solaris\' /usr/bin/diff does not support this flag.

Also, since CSW diffutils installs diff as /opt/csw/bin/gdiff, it will be necessary to set DIFF=gdiff before running configure.

This would introduce a dependency of diffutils on this package, but would then allow rcs to run in a more GNU fashion than with the limitations of Solaris diff.

Thomas,

I\'ve just tried the new package and it works great. Thanks very much for the speedy response. If I knew you were going to be this quick, I would not have bothered recompiling locally!

Thanks again.
