Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : xxdiff Version : 4.0b1 Upstream Author : Martin Blais <bl...@furius.ca> * URL : http://furius.ca/xxdiff/ * License : GPL2 Programming Lang: C++ Description : graphical file/directory comparison and merge tool
>From the old package: xxdiff 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: * Compares two or three files, or two directories (shallow and recursive) * Horizontal highlighting of diffs * Interactive merges, previewing and saving of the resulting output * Unmerges CVS conflicts and displays two files, to help resolve conflicts * Fully customizable with a resource file * Features and output that ease integration with scripts The scripts that accompany xxdiff can be found in the xxdiff-scripts package. xxdiff (and xxdiff-scripts) was already part of Debian, till it was dropped, because the Qt4 port didn't make it in time for wheezy and Qt3 was dropped from wheezy. A working Qt4 port is now apparently available. IMHO, xxdiff is quite usefuly in several situations, where e.g. meld or others perform bad. So I'd like to see it packaged again.
