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.

(0000274) thomas (reporter) 2004-01-15 07:24	I recompiled rcs an added the requested dependency. Please test and let me know if it works for you. I will publish the new packages as soon as I get feedback from you. http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sithglan/csw/ [^] (x86 and sparc rcs packages available from the above URL) Thomas

(0000277) thomas (reporter) 2004-01-15 09:41	I submitted the packages. But I have to thank you because your bugreport was more than just excellent. :-) Thomas
