diffutils 1:3.2-1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

diffutils (1:3.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Manual license is now GFDL without cover or back texts, which means
    we can generate diffutils-doc from this source package again.
  * Moved info manual to diffutils. Now diffutils-doc has only HTML.
  * However, no need to add Replaces: diffutils-doc (<= 2.8.1-14)
    to diffutils, as old diff.info is now diffutils.info.
  * Info manual now clearly states that regular expressions are
    to be considered `grep'-style. Closes: #287682.
  * Fixed cmp manpage where it wrongly suggested "info diff" instead
    of "info cmp". Closes: #434214.
  * Manpage has improved a bit about format options. Closes: #547691.
  * Recursive diff now avoids printing excess slashes in concatenated
    file names. Closes: #586301.
  * Behaviour of --ignore-all-space has been clarified about what
    is to be considered "white space". Closes: #613319.
  * Fixed reporting of spurious differences. Closes: #633978.

diff: dummy transitional package for diff -> diffutils

 This is a dummy package to aid in transitioning from diff to diffutils.
 It may be safely removed after upgrading to squeeze.

diffutils: File comparison utilities

 The diffutils package provides the diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp programs.
 .
 `diff' shows differences between two files, or each corresponding file
 in two directories. `cmp' shows the offsets and line numbers where
 two files differ. `cmp' can also show all the characters that
 differ between the two files, side by side. `diff3' shows differences
 among three files. `sdiff' merges two files interactively.
 .
 The set of differences produced by `diff' can be used to distribute
 updates to text files (such as program source code) to other people.
 This method is especially useful when the differences are small compared
 to the complete files. Given `diff' output, the `patch' program can
 update, or "patch", a copy of the file.

diffutils-doc: Documentation for GNU diffutils in HTML format

 This package contains the HTML documentation for GNU diffutils.
