hi folks, i am working on a c implementation of the code above, as we will need this for inclusion into apt (and some other stuff). if anybody else is working on it, please tell me so we don't duplicate work. the big question is however how to do the ed part. having full ed compatibility is imho undesirable because it is very complex and brings security problems with it. can we agree an a limited subset? for example no lines that start with a dot (should not happen in packages files anyway) and the hunks must be ordered by line number (good for single-pass processing, present in the current diffs)? cu robert -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com
