Could you make actual patches instead of tarballs? (Or did I miss the patches?) I downloaded one of the tarballs and tried doing that myself--after excluding automatically generated files (Makefile.in, Makefile, aclocal.m4, compile, config.guess, config.h.in, config.sub, configure, etc....) it was down to less than a tenth the original diff, but there seemed to be some unrelated changes in there (e.g., some random text files (like utils/nhfsstone/DISCLAIMER) diseappeared), and I gave up. So, making patches would help, as would anything you could do to pare the patches down to the minimum necessary so that we could understand what's being changed. --b. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
