Package: patchutils Version: 0.3.2-1.1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
it would be nice if filterdiff had an option to exclude files where one of the changes to the file matches a pattern. Use case: When comparing two releases of a software I like to exclude autogenerated files. For autoconf/automake filename patterns work reasonably well however the output of GNU autogen cannot be filtered this way. Something like this would work: filterdiff --exclude-files-changes ' It has been AutoGen-ed ' part of example diff: ----------------------------------------------------- diff -Nru autogen-5.16/autoopts/autoopts/options.h autogen-5.16.2~pre9/autoopts/autoopts/options.h --- autogen-5.16/autoopts/autoopts/options.h 2012-05-07 01:21:03.000000000 +0200 +++ autogen-5.16.2~pre9/autoopts/autoopts/options.h 2012-08-09 17:50:36.000000000 +0200 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ * * DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE (options.h) * - * It has been AutoGen-ed May 6, 2012 at 04:21:03 PM by AutoGen 5.16pre36 + * It has been AutoGen-ed August 9, 2012 at 08:50:36 AM by AutoGen 5.16.2pre7 * From the definitions funcs.def * and the template file options_h * ----------------------------------------------------- thanks for considering, cu andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
