X-BeenThere: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Technical Discussions relating to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:03:42 -0000 Just wondering what the current status is on a BSD diff replacement. The IdeasPage suggests that a goodly amount of work was done on this for GSoC 2010 (http://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage#BSD-licensed_Text-Processing_Tools), but the GPLinBase page says it's unowned and suggests replacement with OpenBSD diff (http://wiki.freebsd.org/GPLinBase). Wondering how much is outstanding on this, and where to start reading to catch up on what's been done? -- regards, matt
