Dec 10 11:11:37 <Wikiwide> Tuesdays can be busy, and Mondays may be tricky, while Thursdays may be hacky, and Fridays can be flaky, but Wednesdays shall be long and sleep hence can belong with fear none of retribution. 
Dec 10 11:12:03 <KotCzarny> ..unless you work from home
Dec 10 11:20:16 <Wikiwide> I am way too curious, restless to stand still; neither office full nor home stillness fit my bill; I walk and cycle, scavenge, recycle, watch, talk and listen, of hunger glisten...
Dec 10 11:23:18 <Wikiwide> Perhaps I could at home stay, but only once I have equipped it with tools sufficient and working to keep my mind from being dull. 7 10 9 8
Dec 10 11:29:31 <Wikiwide> As wind crashes blindly into glass Of windows ajar in our house, It is as if the knock of devastation Reaches desperately beyond fire station. 
Dec 10 11:48:50 <Wikiwide> Going by random and frequent beeps of our microwave oven in the night, There is a huge nest of cockroaches being electroshocked regularly on the inside.
Dec 10 11:51:14 <Wikiwide> It is a pity I have missed a huge one as it went ahead on travels into shelves beneath the oven of the beeps.
Dec 10 12:09:25 <Wikiwide> How do I diff two files? Ostensibly, vimdiff should be nice, but it gives E97: Cannot create diffs
Dec 10 12:09:33 <KotCzarny> man diff
Dec 10 12:09:51 <Wikiwide> Man, on Maemo?
Dec 10 12:09:59 <KotCzarny> but usually: diff -u file1 file2 >diffs.txt
Dec 10 12:10:09 <Wikiwide> I cannot even see plain diff command
Dec 10 12:10:10 <KotCzarny> yes, diff should be on maemo
Dec 10 12:10:25 <KotCzarny> apt-cache search diff ?
Dec 10 12:10:44 <KotCzarny> or just install diff package from debian lenny
Dec 10 12:10:59 <KotCzarny> or compile your own
Dec 10 12:11:03 <Wikiwide> Points to virtual package diff provided by busybox?
Dec 10 12:13:58 <KotCzarny> oh, fun, archive.debian.org is disabled
Dec 10 12:14:00 <KotCzarny> fuckers.
Dec 10 12:17:01 <KotCzarny> i think they have finally managed to hide old archives
Dec 10 12:18:29 <Wikiwide> For what purpose? 
Dec 10 12:18:49 <KotCzarny> or i just cant find the packages dist mirrror
Dec 10 12:18:59 <KotCzarny> i see http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/
Dec 10 12:19:03 <KotCzarny> but where are packages?
Dec 10 12:20:27 <KotCzarny> you can also just compile the package in SB
Dec 10 12:22:06 <Wikiwide> sudo gainroot, apt-get install aptitude, aptitude reinstall busybox, since busybox should be providing diff
Dec 10 12:22:21 <KotCzarny> watch out when installing busybox
Dec 10 12:22:29 <KotCzarny> on maemo it can break things
Dec 10 12:23:41 <bencoh> I wouldn't use aptitude on maemo, but ...
Dec 10 12:23:57 <bencoh> (at least I don't really see a reason to)
Dec 10 12:24:26 <Wikiwide> reinstall is about the only reason 
Dec 10 12:25:16 <KotCzarny> there is 'diffutils' package
Dec 10 12:25:20 <Wikiwide> Still no diff. Http://repository.maemo.org fremantle/free busybox 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso31+0cssu0 [235kB
Dec 10 12:25:27 <KotCzarny> diffutils-gnu to be exact
Dec 10 12:25:30 <KotCzarny> in extras-devel
Dec 10 12:26:00 <KotCzarny> it provides gdiff
Dec 10 12:26:11 <KotCzarny> or /usr/bin/gnu/diff
Dec 10 12:26:27 <KotCzarny> probably to be safe from potential files with the same name
Dec 10 12:27:48 <Wikiwide> gdiff is great, thank you!
Dec 10 12:47:25 <Wikiwide> But it is still not helping much to diff Notes, aka, html files.
Dec 10 12:47:55 <KotCzarny> dump html into txt using lynx/links ?
Dec 10 12:48:02 <KotCzarny> then diff the txt files?
Dec 10 12:48:29 <KotCzarny> linux is about building things from basic blocks
Dec 10 12:48:45 <KotCzarny> in contrast to windows, which has a 'button' for 'everything'
Dec 10 12:50:15 <Wikiwide> If file format cannot be diffed, then something is lacking. Either file format or diff.
Dec 10 12:50:19 <Wikiwide> Goodnight 
Dec 10 12:50:34 <Wikiwide> N900 is slipping out of my fingers
Dec 10 12:50:39 <KotCzarny> :)
Dec 10 12:51:00 <KotCzarny> if file format contains metadata, then you need tools to compare only parts you need
Dec 10 12:51:05 <KotCzarny> ie. dumping into txt
Dec 10 13:56:43 <drathir> KotCzarny: still lucky html thingy not not some kind of "magick" dynamic generated xml ;p
Dec 10 13:58:17 <KotCzarny> xml needs scripting to compare
Dec 10 13:58:28 <KotCzarny> easily doable with php
