Subject: [ANN] gdiff / gpatch 0.0.1 released

Hello rubyists,

I released a new cleaned up version of the gdiff / gpatch library and
programs. Now available as a gem and in setup.rb format.

Find it at

  http://ruby.brian-schroeder.de/gdiff/

Installation:

  wget http://ruby.brian-schroeder.de/gdiff/releases/gdiff-0.0.1.tar.bz2
  tar -xvvjf gdiff-0.0.1.tar.bz2
  cd gdiff-0.0.1
  ruby setup.rb

Usage:

  gdiff file_a file_b > patch
  gpatch file_a patch > file_b_from_patch

or as a library:

  require 'gdiff'

  File.open("patch", "wb") do | patch |
    patch << Diff::GDiff.diff(File.read("file_a"), File.read("file_b")).pack
  end

  File.open("file_b_from_patch", "wb") do | file_b_2 |
    file_b_2 <<
Diff::GDiff.unpack(File.read("patch")).apply_to(File.read("file_a"))
  end

regard,

Brian
