Wikiwide | Tuesdays can be busy, and Mondays may be tricky, while Thursdays may be hacky, and Fridays can be flaky, but Wednesdays shall be long and sleep hence can belong with fear none of retribution. | 12:11 |
KotCzarny | ..unless you work from home | 12:12 |
Wikiwide | I am way too curious, restless to stand still; neither office full nor home stillness fit my bill; I walk and cycle, scavenge, recycle, watch, talk and listen, of hunger glisten... | 12:20 |
Wikiwide | Perhaps I could at home stay, but only once I have equipped it with tools sufficient and working to keep my mind from being dull. 7 10 9 8 | 12:23 |
Wikiwide | As wind crashes blindly into glass Of windows ajar in our house, It is as if the knock of devastation Reaches desperately beyond fire station. | 12:29 |
Wikiwide | Going by random and frequent beeps of our microwave oven in the night, There is a huge nest of cockroaches being electroshocked regularly on the inside. | 12:48 |
Wikiwide | It is a pity I have missed a huge one as it went ahead on travels into shelves beneath the oven of the beeps. | 12:51 |
Wikiwide | How do I diff two files? Ostensibly, vimdiff should be nice, but it gives E97: Cannot create diffs | 13:09 |
KotCzarny | man diff | 13:09 |
Wikiwide | Man, on Maemo? | 13:09 |
KotCzarny | but usually: diff -u file1 file2 >diffs.txt | 13:09 |
Wikiwide | I cannot even see plain diff command | 13:10 |
KotCzarny | yes, diff should be on maemo | 13:10 |
KotCzarny | apt-cache search diff ? | 13:10 |
KotCzarny | or just install diff package from debian lenny | 13:10 |
KotCzarny | or compile your own | 13:10 |
Wikiwide | Points to virtual package diff provided by busybox? | 13:11 |
KotCzarny | oh, fun, archive.debian.org is disabled | 13:13 |
KotCzarny | fuckers. | 13:14 |
KotCzarny | i think they have finally managed to hide old archives | 13:17 |
Wikiwide | For what purpose? | 13:18 |
KotCzarny | or i just cant find the packages dist mirrror | 13:18 |
KotCzarny | i see http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/ | 13:18 |
KotCzarny | but where are packages? | 13:19 |
KotCzarny | you can also just compile the package in SB | 13:20 |
Wikiwide | sudo gainroot, apt-get install aptitude, aptitude reinstall busybox, since busybox should be providing diff | 13:22 |
KotCzarny | watch out when installing busybox | 13:22 |
KotCzarny | on maemo it can break things | 13:22 |
bencoh | I wouldn't use aptitude on maemo, but ... | 13:23 |
bencoh | (at least I don't really see a reason to) | 13:23 |
Wikiwide | reinstall is about the only reason | 13:24 |
KotCzarny | there is 'diffutils' package | 13:25 |
Wikiwide | Still no diff. Http://repository.maemo.org fremantle/free busybox 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso31+0cssu0 [235kB | 13:25 |
KotCzarny | diffutils-gnu to be exact | 13:25 |
KotCzarny | in extras-devel | 13:25 |
KotCzarny | it provides gdiff | 13:26 |
KotCzarny | or /usr/bin/gnu/diff | 13:26 |
KotCzarny | probably to be safe from potential files with the same name | 13:26 |
Wikiwide | gdiff is great, thank you! | 13:27 |
Wikiwide | But it is still not helping much to diff Notes, aka, html files. | 13:47 |
KotCzarny | dump html into txt using lynx/links ? | 13:47 |
KotCzarny | then diff the txt files? | 13:48 |
KotCzarny | linux is about building things from basic blocks | 13:48 |
KotCzarny | in contrast to windows, which has a 'button' for 'everything' | 13:48 |
Wikiwide | If file format cannot be diffed, then something is lacking. Either file format or diff. | 13:50 |
Wikiwide | Goodnight | 13:50 |
Wikiwide | N900 is slipping out of my fingers | 13:50 |
KotCzarny | :) | 13:50 |
KotCzarny | if file format contains metadata, then you need tools to compare only parts you need | 13:51 |
KotCzarny | ie. dumping into txt | 13:51 |
drathir | KotCzarny: still lucky html thingy not not some kind of "magick" dynamic generated xml ;p | 14:56 |
KotCzarny | xml needs scripting to compare | 14:58 |
KotCzarny | easily doable with php | 14:58 |
