- The source for this release was obtained from
-
- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-2.8.1.tar.gz
-
- The Debian .orig.tar.gz is a repackaged version of the above, with
- the following changes:
-
- * The doc directory, which contains the manual, has been removed.
- * The files `Makefile.in', `configure.ac' and `configure' have been modified
- minimally so that the tarball may be used without any of the auto* tools
- (as it also happens for the unmodified tarball).
