xxdiff is a computer program that allows a user (usually a software
developer of some sort) to easily visualize the differences between
files. The manner and goal for which this process is applied over
multiple files is highly dependent on the application, and most of
the time is driven by custom user scripts.
For example, a configuration management engineer in a company might
provide some kind of merge policing environment, that allows software
developers to review changes in files for the purpose of accepting or
rejecting a submitted changeset to a codebase. Another example is
that of a developer wishing to review the changes he made to a
checkout of files from a source-code management system such as CVS,
Subversion, ClearCase, Perforce, etc.
NOTE: If this package has multiple flavors (see below), then use one of them instead of the name specified above. NOTE: This is a Python port. Instead of py312-xxdiff-scripts listed in the above command, you can pick from the names under the Packages section.
textproc/xxdiff{,-scripts}: ressurect port
- update to current qt5/qt6 fork
- update scripts to use Python 3
- update port to current conventions
Requested by: reddit user /u/steverikli
Resurrect `textproc/xxdiff' and `textproc/xxdiff-scripts' which were removed
from the tree when Qt 3.x had reached EoL. Version 4.0 adds support for Qt4
now and thus allows to revive the port(s). While here, modernize Makefiles,
define LICENSE (GPLv2), clean up dependencies, and augment port description.
PR: 198025
KDE3 and QT3 expired on 2013-07-01, remove these ports.
Unfortunately, this also affects some ports using QT3 as a GUI toolkit.
Changes to infrastructure files:
- bsd.kde.mk : obsolete, remove
- bsd.qt.mk : note that a CONFLICTS_BUILD line can probably go after a while
- CHANGES : document the removals from bsd.port.mk
- KNOBS : remove KDE and QT (KDE4 and QT4 should be used instead)
- MOVED : add the removed ports
PR: ports/180745
Submitted by: rene
Approved by: portmgr (bapt)
Exp-run by: bapt
- Make Python 2.5.1 the default Python version
- Add significantly better support in bsd.python.mk for working with
Python Eggs and the easy_install system
Tested by: pointyhat runs
Approved by: pav (portmgr)
Most work by: perky
