Nope. I simply did not pay attention. BB generated diffs do not apply cleanly by Rob's toybox' patch. I use his toolchain in my building tree. Although I can use vanilla patch the question is whether BB diff does things right? I see in diff.c text containing bb_dev_null like: --- if (flags & D_EMPTY1) /* can't be stdin, but xfopen_stdin() is smaller code */ f1 = xfopen_stdin(bb_dev_null); else f1 = xfopen_stdin(file1); --- meaning diff copes with the problem of absent files, but the resulting patch never uses /dev/null as filename. Should we ask the author? TIA, -- Vladimir
