tardiff is a perl utility that enables easy patch creation for two different versions of a build/install tree in tarball format. tardiff uses advanced mechanisms to determine differences (visit homepage for a thorough description).

April 21, 2005 v2.1.4 -------------- * Fixed bug in generating scripts where files referenced have spaces in them. This was already properly handled for .BAT scripts... December 29, 2004 ---------------- * Fixed creation of TAR archives when not using gzip or bzip2 to create a compressed archive. This error caused the name of the created file to be enclosed in quotes, and only happened when comparing two existing archives October 12, 2004 ---------------- * Added "--zip" option October 7, 2004 --------------- * Fixed combination of "--duplicates" and "--no-movement" so it now does what the author originally intended * Fixed file type mismatch catch * Removed some debugging output from generated Unix shell scripts * Fixed handling of long symbolic links and paths October 5, 2004 --------------- * Long argument form completed. * Support for specifying other checksum programs, given they meet certain requirements, added. * Duplicate recognition completed. * Source compression recognition is now based on the file content, not the file name. * Empty checksum files are no longer created. * Created scripts' names have changed. * Option to add a prompt to the scripts before erasing any files added.
Since SourceForge is now blocking all port 80 requests, I am unable to Get base package files to create patches. Fortunately, Curt is now releasing incremental base patches, made with tardiff, on the FlightGear download page.
