I have to ask my neighbor to keep an eye on my mum while I am<br/> absent.</div> <div>So I am not keen on spending my sparse time acquiring skills which I do not<br/> need. I am currently stuck with opening a window on a remote cpu using Tkinter.</div> <div>This results in very low productivity and sluggish response.</div> <div>This is not facebook and so I will close this social thread.</div> <div>----</div> <div>Well, identifying the version of a source file would be very easy if you put a<br/> comment at the beginning containing the modification date. Back in the 70s we<br/> were able to fully automate this using available tools (this was not on Unix).</div> <div>I feel, sed (available since the 70s) could do this for you.</div> <div>----</div> <div>I finally succeeded in getting a basic understanding of diff, but could not<br/> find out if patch needs a "diff original modified" or a "diff modified<br/> original" to work properly.</div> <div>The original is from walac-pyusb-39816be.<br/> I was astonished to learn, that the sourceforge files are from 2014.</div> <div>I hope you can proceed with the modifications. There are 4 lines to change and<br/> 20 lines to insert. Back in the 70s we could do this within 15 minutes.<br/> <br/> Do not hesitate to contact me if there are any questions left.</div> <div>Sincerely yours HH</div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html> |
