2015-02-09	xzdiff: Make the mktemp usage compatible with FreeBSD's mktemp.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+6
	Thanks to Rui Paulo for the fix.
2014-11-10	xzdiff: Use mkdir if mktemp isn't available.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+16

2014-11-10	xzdiff: Create a temporary directory to hold a temporary file.	Lasse Collin	1	-5/+5
	This avoids the possibility of "File name too long" when creating a temp file when the input file name is very long. This also means that other users on the system can no longer see the input file names in /tmp (or whatever $TMPDIR is) since the temporary directory will have a generic name. This usually doesn't matter since on many systems one can see the arguments given to all processes anyway. The number X chars to mktemp where increased from 6 to 10. Note that with some shells temp files or dirs won't be used at all.
2011-07-31	Fix exit status of "xzdiff foo.xz bar.xz".	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+2
	xzdiff was clobbering the exit status from diff in a case statement used to analyze the exit statuses from "xz" when its operands were two compressed files. Save and restore diff's exit status to fix this. The bug is inherited from zdiff in GNU gzip and was fixed there on 2009-10-09. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the patch and to Peter Pallinger for reporting the bug.
2011-03-19	Scripts: Add lzop (.lzo) support to xzdiff and xzgrep.	Lasse Collin	1	-8/+14

2010-12-13	Scripts: Fix gzip and bzip2 support in xzdiff.	Lasse Collin	1	-6/+6

2009-08-09	“xzdiff a.xz b.xz” always fails	Jonathan Nieder	1	-1/+1
	Attempts to compare two compressed files result in no output and exit status 2. Instead of going to standard output, ‘diff’ output is being captured in the xz_status variable along with the exit status from the decompression commands. Later, when this variable is examined for nonzero status codes, numerals from dates in the ‘diff’ output make it appear as though decompression failed. So let the ‘diff’ output leak to standard output with another file descriptor. (This trick is used in all similar contexts elsewhere in xzdiff and in the analogous context in gzip’s zdiff script.)
2009-07-30	xzdiff: add missing ;; to case statement	Jonathan Nieder	1	-3/+3

2009-07-05	Major update to the xzgrep and other scripts based on	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+172
	the latest versions found from gzip CVS repository. configure will try to find a POSIX shell to be used by the scripts. This should ease portability on systems which have pre-POSIX /bin/sh. xzgrep and xzdiff support .xz, .lzma, .gz, and .bz2 files. xzmore and xzless support only .xz and .lzma files. The name of the xz executable used in these scripts is now correct even if --program-transform-name has been used.
