[announce] 'patchview' ver. 003

[announce] 'patchview' ver. 003

[randy_dunlap]

Hi,

[version 003]

'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] patchfile srctree {ver. 003}
  -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.

patchutils:  http://cyberelk.net/tim/patchutils/
tkdiff:      http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdiff/

Changes for ver. 003:
- handle patch making empty .orig files (for new files)
  with permission of 000

  Hi, Randy.

  Here's a small modification to make it work with mtkdiff (my hacked 
version of tkdiff which supports multiple files).  mtkdiff+patchview 
tarball is available at the following url.
