Added fix for gnulib compilation against eglibc 2.16, which no longer
declares gets by default. Closes: #693346.

17. By Colin Watson on 2012-10-30

Avoid assuming that gets is declared.

16. By Santiago Vila on 2012-10-04

Updated config.guess and config.sub for arm64. Closes: #688965, #689617.

Forgot to update configure script after modifying m4/float_h.m4.

14. By Santiago Vila on 2012-04-29

The previous change didn't work. Fix it the right way: Applied patch
by Bruno Haible (taken from gnulib) fixing powerpc float issues.

13. By Santiago Vila on 2012-04-29

Modified gnulib-tests/Makefile.in to disable test-float,
as it fails on powerpc.

12. By Santiago Vila on 2012-04-12

Switch to dh. Should hopefully cross-build from source now.
Closes: #664270.

* Dropped dummy "diff" binary package.
* Build with hardened flags. Closes: #653853.

10. By Santiago Vila on 2011-10-16

* New upstream release.
* Manual license is now GFDL without cover or back texts, which means
  we can generate diffutils-doc from this source package again.
* Moved info manual to diffutils. Now diffutils-doc has only HTML.
* However, no need to add Replaces: diffutils-doc (<= 2.8.1-14)
  to diffutils, as old diff.info is now diffutils.info.
* Info manual now clearly states that regular expressions are
  to be considered `grep'-style. Closes: #287682.
* Fixed cmp manpage where it wrongly suggested "info diff" instead
  of "info cmp". Closes: #434214.
* Manpage has improved a bit about format options. Closes: #547691.
* Recursive diff now avoids printing excess slashes in concatenated
  file names. Closes: #586301.
* Behaviour of --ignore-all-space has been clarified about what
  is to be considered "white space". Closes: #613319.
* Fixed reporting of spurious differences. Closes: #633978.
