Bug#445882: RFA: xxdiff -- a graphical file and directories comparison and merge tool
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the xxdiff package.
I'm orphaning the package since I'm not using it (I use vimdiff instead) and since
I genereally want to shed responsability. The package is in good state IMHO, it's
usable, nice and pretty mature and doesn't require much attention or maintenance.
Upstream hasn't been very active for a while as well.
It has smaller issues with font handling though, that would be nice to look into
however seems to run fine on the vast majority of setups.
The package description is:
A powerful tool for viewing the differences between two or three files,
or two directories, and can be used to produce a merged version. The
texts of the two or three files are presented side by side with their
differences highlighted with colors for easy identification. Among its
features are:
.
* can compare two files, three files, or two directories (shallow and
recursive);
* horizontal diffs highlighting;
* files can be merged interactively and resulting output visualized and
saved;
* can unmerge CVS conflicts in automatically merged files and display
themi as two files, to help resolve conflicts;
* fully customizable with a resource file;
.
The scripts that accompany xxdiff can be found in the xxdiff-tools
package.
