hi,
it would be nice if diffstat provided a way to work with gzip'd patches,
as it's pretty common that they come in this flavor (for example, the
diff.gz files from debian source packages). while it's possible to do
"zcat foo.gz | diffstat", it'd be a lot nicer if one could do "diffstat
- -z foo.gz" or similar instead". my RSI-inflicted hands would thank you
:)
thanks,
sean

Unless I'm missing something, patchutils 0.2.31-4 in lenny and sid,
which existed at the time of this email, fully supports this
functionality:
interdiff has "-z decompress .gz and .bz2 files"
Running diffstat on two .diff.gz's produces the correct output,
without a -z flag.
Running interdiff -z on two .diff.gz's produces the difference between
the patches. This functionality is documented at
http://women.debian.org/wiki/English/AdvancedBuildingTips.
If I am misunderstanding this bug please re-open it, but given the
current title of the bug this funcitonality does exist.
Cheers,
