Well, I use the diff program as included in my SuSE distribution, either 
from the command-line, or implicitly from vimdiff (my 'diffexpr' option 
is empty). I suppose there is nothing extraordinary in this.

"diff --version" replies with the following:

yast2 tells me that this diffutils package was built Wed 03 Dec 2008 
06:00:50 CET and also (among other things) mentions a URL of 
http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/

"ls -l `which diff`" returns
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 87940 2008-12-03 06:00 /usr/bin/diff*
where the date is the build date, not the install date (which was 
several days later).

Personally I'm not suprised that this kind of well-defined package has 
seen no change in half a year.


Best regards,
Tony.
