WikiwideTuesdays 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 home12:12
WikiwideI 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
WikiwidePerhaps 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 9 812:23
WikiwideAs 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
WikiwideGoing 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
WikiwideIt 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
WikiwideHow do I diff two files? Ostensibly, vimdiff should be nice, but it gives E97: Cannot create diffs13:09
KotCzarnyman diff13:09
WikiwideMan, on Maemo?13:09
KotCzarnybut usually: diff -u file1 file2 >diffs.txt13:09
WikiwideI cannot even see plain diff command13:10
KotCzarnyyes, diff should be on maemo13:10
KotCzarnyapt-cache search diff ?13:10
KotCzarnyor just install diff package from debian lenny13:10
KotCzarnyor compile your own13:10
WikiwidePoints to virtual package diff provided by busybox?13:11
KotCzarnyoh, fun, archive.debian.org is disabled13:13
KotCzarnyfuckers.13:14
KotCzarnyi think they have finally managed to hide old archives13:17
WikiwideFor what purpose?13:18
KotCzarnyor i just cant find the packages dist mirrror13:18
KotCzarnyi see http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/13:18
KotCzarnybut where are packages?13:19
KotCzarnyyou can also just compile the package in SB13:20
Wikiwidesudo gainroot, apt-get install aptitude, aptitude reinstall busybox, since busybox should be providing diff13:22
KotCzarnywatch out when installing busybox13:22
KotCzarnyon maemo it can break things13:22
bencohI wouldn't use aptitude on maemo, but ...13:23
bencoh(at least I don't really see a reason to)13:23
Wikiwidereinstall is about the only reason13:24
KotCzarnythere is 'diffutils' package13:25
WikiwideStill no diff. Http://repository.maemo.org fremantle/free busybox 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso31+0cssu0 [235kB13:25
KotCzarnydiffutils-gnu to be exact13:25
KotCzarnyin extras-devel13:25
KotCzarnyit provides gdiff13:26
KotCzarnyor /usr/bin/gnu/diff13:26
KotCzarnyprobably to be safe from potential files with the same name13:26
Wikiwidegdiff is great, thank you!13:27
WikiwideBut it is still not helping much to diff Notes, aka, html files.13:47
KotCzarnydump html into txt using lynx/links ?13:47
KotCzarnythen diff the txt files?13:48
KotCzarnylinux is about building things from basic blocks13:48
KotCzarnyin contrast to windows, which has a 'button' for 'everything'13:48
WikiwideIf file format cannot be diffed, then something is lacking. Either file format or diff.13:50
WikiwideGoodnight13:50
WikiwideN900 is slipping out of my fingers13:50
KotCzarny:)13:50
KotCzarnyif file format contains metadata, then you need tools to compare only parts you need13:51
KotCzarnyie. dumping into txt13:51
drathirKotCzarny: still lucky html thingy not not some kind of "magick" dynamic generated xml ;p14:56
KotCzarnyxml needs scripting to compare14:58
KotCzarnyeasily doable with php14:58
