It vanishes completely in the header of the resulting output. I've been trying to rename one of my patch files to conform to portlint's recommendations, but unless I can get -N to work properly, this is a no-go. Whether I add 'cvs diff -uN' to my .cvsrc, or explicitly add it at the command line, makes no difference. For instance: [root@serene /usr/ports/net-p2p/lopster]# cvs diff -uN cvs diff: Diffing . Index: Makefile =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/ports/net-p2p/lopster/Makefile,v retrieving revision 1.44 diff -u -r1.44 Makefile ^ |__ What happened to -N? [snip remainder of diff output] Incidentally, this problem started before I upgraded two days ago from 9.0-BETA1 to 9.0-BETA1, so it's not OS version-related. Any idea what could be causing this and how to correct it? Is this a bug in cvs? Should I send-pr it? Thanks! -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
