I was wondering if it'd be possible to upload a file to a temporary
location, and then diff it against its equivalent location in the cvs
repository.
Use case: Verbosio will be able to edit XML, and will be used to edit
itself. So for an end-user to be able to generate patches against
Verbosio trunk code, the end-user needs to get a diff from somewhere.
If this diff could be provided as a web service, then a XMLHttpRequest
via XUL Widgets's serverpost could access this service and generate
useful results for the user. A guided XUL form (a la bugxula) could
then guide the user in submitting the diff as a bug and patch.
Any thoughts from the mozdev team?
Not sure if I follow fully, but ...
Can't the version they are editing just be a copy, and then all that
would need to be done is a local 'diff -u' from the live version against
the copy. This is presuming that the original lives in a flat chrome
structure.
