Problem with diffs in the SVN trunk

Aug 1, 2004, 2:40 AM

Post #1 of 6 (1442 views)

Hi,

I'm working on getting my open source project, OpenThreads
(openthreads.sourceforge.net), up and running with trac, and I've run
into a nice little snag while using the trunk. I've registered this
bug under ticket #670:

http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/ticket/670

Now, Jonas tells me that it's probably a function of the setup on my
server, but I've followed all of the instructions on the site. Here's
what I've got:

Server: IBM 2 processor M-Pro wokstation
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Workstation 3.0, Update 2
Packages installed (for trac):

Python 2.2.3 (#1, Aug 8 2003, 08:44:02)
[GCC 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-13)] on linux2

clearsilver-0.9.10.tar.gz
pysqlite-0.5.1.tar.gz
swig-1.3.21.tar.gz
sqlite-2.8.15.tar.gz
subversion-1.0.6.tar.gz

Now here's the trick, diff views work just fine for me with 0.7.1, but
I need the trunk in order to get proper developer permissions setup.
Is there anyone who can help me debug what is going on here ? I'm an
expert C++/Java developer, but am somewhat new to the python scene...

cheers,

sean

Hi Sean,

Are you using authz with Trac trunk? If so, make sure the user as
permission to access the files in the diff. It's probably easiest
to comment out the "authz_file" line in trac.ini and see if that helps.

I'm not explicitly...I've got anon permissions setup for
everything...I'll try that though...

I can display the unified diff just fine, by clicking on the link at
the bottom of the page.

No luck, I can't find a authz_file line in my trac.ini file (at least
not the trac.ini that's in the conf directory of my project)

still curious why it works with 0.7.1 ....

Okay, after much sleuthing, I've found the culprit...please see the attached patch. Appearently there's a bug in diffutils 2.8.1 such that "diff -u -2" doesn't work. Rather it should be (and this is the new appropriate way): "diff -U -2"

The patch changes things in the trunk to properly use an uppercase U.

thanks for all the help, I'm attaching the patch to ticket 670.

That was a tricky bug. Trac now uses the correct diff argument, thanks!
