Dear All please confirm that what I'm seeing here is a bug before I bugzilla it. Create 2 files, f1, f2 with contents "abc" and "abc " (without quotes), i.e. the same line with a space on the end. Diff ignoring whitespace: diff -b f1 f2 should produce no diff output, but does on F8. Works fine on FC6. version: diffutils-2.8.1-17.fc8 Thanks Ian -- Ian Thurlbeck http://www.stams.strath.ac.uk/ Statistics and Modelling Science, University of Strathclyde Livingstone Tower, 26 Richmond Street, Glasgow, UK, G1 1XH Tel: +44 (0)141 548 3667 Fax: +44 (0)141 552 2079 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
