Description Stanislav Cymbalov 2012-11-19 17:56:34 UTC

Kdiff3 fails to save merge results when file specified in option -o exists.

Steps to reproduce:
  # emerge = kde-misc/kdiff3-0.9.97
  $ echo > a; echo > b; echo > c; touch res
  $ kdiff3 a b c -o result
  Try to save

Actual results:
  kdiff3 complains about unability to save backup copy of res

Expected results:
  kdiff3 saves merge result

Bug already fixed in upstream: http://sourceforge.net/p/kdiff3/code/ci/23ad423e4255c80ee22b269f73e20333f7c06678
Please add fix from upstream to local patch set.

Can we kindly move this straight to "stable"?  It's not cool when the stable is broken, all previous revisions are removed and the one that's fixed is marked unstable.
