Bug#380332: dpkg: [CONFFILE] diff command should be configurable
Even in 2015, it would still be very nice to be able to use f.e. colordiff or imediff2 to investigate changed config files.
Bug#380332: dpkg: [CONFFILE] diff command should be configurable
Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.22 Severity: wishlist The diff command used to show conffile diffs should be configurable, at least in dpkg.cfg. For instance, one should be able to choose colordiff to get colorized diffs. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.3-20060705 Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-1 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dpkg recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The other wishlist bugs are about 3-way diff and merging, whereas mine is just about a different 2-way diff output. -- Vincent Lefèvre [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Web: http://www.vinc17.org/ 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: http://www.vinc17.org/blog/ Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
