Erik, in order to determine how feasible it would be to even
further extend tardiff.pl in one way or the other it would
be useful to know what _major_ changes to the FlightGear base
package are planned, or at least likely to occur within the
near future, so things like structural changes but also
file format changes (e.g. because of compression) would
be interesting.
Steven has meanwhile written a pretty advanced version of the
original script that for example now provides means to
determine if files/folders were moved or renamed within the
FlightGear base package tree in order to reduce the resulting
patch file's size.
There do exist some other ideas, but many of these would
be extremely specific and would only make sense in certain
cases.
So, what kind of likely changes come to your mind ?
The most likely changes are updated (and new) aircraft 3d model related 
files. The rest is not very predictable. It comes as things go ...

Sorry for cross-posting, didn't intend to do so, was probably
caused because this topic comes originally from the users list.

It might be useful if such changes could be documented - at least the
more significant ones, do you usually make (detailed) cvs comments for
these things ?
Even though the structural changes can be easily tracked down by the
script already, it might help if the other things would be mentioned
somewhere.
Updated or new files itself would not currently be a problem, rather
changes in file formats (possibly caused by using compression on RGB
files) would be more problematical.

weird, this seems to be related to the mailing list application
(pipermail ?) - I did indeed only send the posting to the
devel-list, but it (as well as all replies to it !) shows up
on the users-list as well, seems to be mailheader related,
because it was a reply to another list ?

Sure, most of the time anyway.

You could check the timestamps of those files. They shouldn't change 
unless something has changed.

Note that you can always do something like the following command which 
will show all the changes/log messesages since a particular date:

cvs log -d02/25/2003 | less
(Notice that this needs to be in form of MM/DD/)
