Re: New package: wft-0.0.3-l

Great package btw, loving it so far... Slight problem though, if I have a $HOME/.wtf directory with databases and indexes in it then the wtf program no longer searches the databases in the /usr/share/wtf directory. If I rename my .wtf directory then the system databases are searched once more.

patch unusable to apply patches to binary files

Because patch always reads its input in textmode, it cannot be used to apply patches to binary files - e.g. gcc-core-3.3-3.3.1.diff, which updates binary .gmo files. I recall previous threads about patch and textmode/binmode issues, but searching for "patch textmode" failed to find them. Can anyo
