This is the README file for quinn diff version 0.50.
Quinn diff is a program for comparing a Sources file and a Packages
files to determine which programs need (re)compiled from source for
any given architecture.
Quinn diff knows about architecture specific packages (e.g. lilo) and
can easily exlcude them via a Packages-arch-specific file. The output
is a list of source packages complete with accurate section and
version information, suitable for use in build daemons or just in a
script to auto-snarf the necessary source.
See TODO for an incomplete list of things needing to be done.
See the file NEWS for user-visible changes since the last version.
See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Quinn diff has been built and tested on the following platforms :-
Linux/i386 2.0.[27-33]
Linux/m68k 2.0.[29-33]
Solaris 5.5.1 (sparc)
I've also had reports of it working on Linux/alpha.
