Hi,
I observe a change in the output of patchdiff/pkgdiff.
$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/spamassassin
$ make patch
$ mkpatches
$ patchdiff

The additional output after '@@' seems to be caused by the option '-p'
('Show which C function each change is in') for 'diff' in the 'pkgdiff'
script.
I never saw this before and cannot explain why it happens now. As far as
I can see, there have been no changes to the script 'pkgdiff' in the
recent past, only to the Makefile.
This is pkgdiff-0.107 on NetBSD 1.5.4_ALPHA.
Does this happen for others as well?
ciao
Klaus
