Description Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Changes between version 1.0.7 and 1.0.8

Support for numeric colours added, for 256-colour terminals (thanks to Gautam Iyer). Diff-types can now be specified explicitly, for use when diff-type detection doesn't work or isn't possible. Return diff's exit code, patch from Tim Connors. Allow extraneous diff text to be coloured separately.


Installs flawless with the allready existing ebuild in the tree.

Renaming the 1.0.7 ebuild should be sufficient.

Reassigning to maintainer.

I've figured your strategy out. It's a clever one. File bugs against every package I maintain till I finally give in and get you commit access. =)

I'll be maintaining this now, looking at bugz next week.

uhh, not quite. There is at least one new dependency needed. app-text/xmlto

Then it fails with this:

Why does it work for you and not me?
