As for upgrading I'm on 3.5.7 now so I cannot easily test 3.5.6 with the patch anymore, but on *my machine* diffs (including git diffs) with /dev/null work just fine. -- robin > kompare, I'm all for the idea, but the KDE folks aren't making that > easy.

Any direct link? I suggested *not* to upgrade completely. Go to ubunu's home page and look for package sources and how to modify them. Ubuntu uses the same package format as Debian so instructions for Debian will most likely apply for Ubuntu. - robin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
