diffutils: update to 3.8

2022-04-12T14:24:16Z

* Noteworthy changes in release 3.8 (2021-08-01) [stable] ** Incompatible changes diff no longer treats a closed stdin as representing an absent file in usage like 'diff --new-file - foo <&-'. This feature was rarely if ever used and was not portable to POSIX platforms that reopen stdin on exec, such as SELinux if the process underwent an AT_SECURE transition, or HP-UX even if not setuid. ** Bug fixes diff and related programs no longer get confused if stdin, stdout, or stderr are closed. Previously, they sometimes opened files into file descriptors 0, 1, or 2 and then mistakenly did I/O with them that was intended for stdin, stdout, or stderr. cmp, diff and sdiff no longer treat negative command-line option-arguments as if they were large positive numbers.

all: migrate several HOMEPAGEs to https

pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few indentations in unrelated lines. This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.

Updated devel/diffutils to 3.7

2019-07-07T18:02:43Z

Changes: bug fixes, diff --color now produces output compatible with less -R. (cf. https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9341)

release 3.6:

2017-09-08T09:42:34Z

** New features When one file is a prefix of the other, cmp now appends the shorter file's size to the EOF diagnostic. ** Bug fixes Using an invalid regular expression with --ignore-matching-lines=RE (-I) no longer causes stack overflow. Before, with an invocation like the following, diff would diagnose the error, but would still proceed to blow the stack: diff -Ia -I\\ <(echo) <(echo b) [bug introduced in 2.9] diff no longer mishandles line numbers exceeding 2**31 on Mingw-w64. the ---presume-output-tty (ostensibly test-only) option would cause diff --color to read an uninitialized variable [bug introduced in 3.4] ** Performance changes diff's default algorithm has been tweaked to deal better with larger files, reversing some of the changes made in diffutils-3.4.

Updated devel/diffutils to 3.5

2017-01-04T14:04:30Z

------------------------------ * Noteworthy changes in release 3.5 (2016-08-20) [stable] ** Bug fixes diff3 no longer malfunctions due to use-after-free [bug introduced in 3.4] diff --color no longer colorizes when TERM=dumb

Updated devel/diffutils to 3.4

2016-08-09T13:35:28Z

------------------------------ * Noteworthy changes in release 3.4 (2016-08-08) [stable] ** New features diff accepts two new options --color and --palette to generate and configure colored output. --color takes an optional argument specifying when to colorize a line: --color=always, --color=auto, --color=never. --palette is used to configure which colors are used. ** Bug fixes When binary files differ, diff now exits with status 1 as POSIX requires. Formerly it exited with status 2. Unless the --ignore-file-name-case option is used, diff now considers file names to be equal only if they are byte-for-byte equivalent. This fixes a bug where diff in an English locale might consider two Asian file names to be the same merely because they contain no English characters. diff -B no longer generates incorrect output if the two inputs each end with a one-byte incomplete line. diff --brief no longer reports a difference for unusual identical files. For example, when comparing a file like /proc/cmdline (for which the linux kernel reports st_size of 0 even though it is not an empty file) to a copy of that file's contents residing on a "normal" file system: $ f=/proc/cmdline; cp $f k; diff --brief $f k Files /proc/cmdline and k differ ** Performance changes diff's default algorithm has been adjusted to output higher-quality results at somewhat greater computational cost, as CPUs have gotten faster since the algorithm was last tweaked in diffutils-2.6 (1993).
