[announce] 'patchview' ver. 004

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

[version 004]

'patchview' merges a patch file and a source tree to a set of
temporary modified files.  This enables better patch (re)viewing
and more viewable context.  (hopefully)


The patchview script is here:
  http://www.xenotime.net/linux/scripts/patchview


usage: patchview [-f] [-s] patchfile srctree {ver. 004}
  -f : force tkdiff even if 'patch' has errors
  -s : single tkdiff even if patchfile contains multiple files


It uses (requires) lsdiff (from patchutils) and
tkdiff or mtkdiff (multi-file tkdiff viewer).
'mtkdiff' is used if it is found and is executable.
(and it's pretty cool)


patchutils:  http://cyberelk.net/tim/patchutils/
tkdiff:      http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdiff/
mtkdiff:     http://home-tj.org/mtkdiff/files/
