* Package name    : cdiff
   Version         : 1.0
   Upstream Author : Matthew Wang
* URL             : https://github.com/ymattw/cdiff

   Programming Lang: Python
   Description     : Colored, incremental diff with side by side and auto pager support

  Cdiff is a terminal based tool to view colored, incremental diff in a
  Git/Mercurial/Svn workspace or from stdin, with side by side and auto
  pager support.

This is Build-Depends for patroni, which I am also packaging. It will
have to conflict with colordiff as both ship /usr/bin/cdiff.

Please note that upstream is in the process of changing the command name[1], as the conflict was pointed out to them by a Fedora packager.

Furthermore, based on a quick search[2], patroni doesn't seem to require /usr/bin/cdiff anyway but rather the python module cdiff.

So, there should be no need to conflict with colordiff.

Regards,
Juhani
