Hi all,
In this changeset http://www.landley.net/hg/toybox/rev/e7c742f78361 the
EOF notification of cmp.c went to stdout iso of to stderr.
This however causes the cmp tests to fail, since on my debian laptop
with the fsf cmp it goes to stderr:
edb at lapedb:/tmp$ cat input
ab
c
xedb at lapedb:/tmp$ cat input2
ab
cedb at lapedb:/tmp$ cmp input input2
cmp: EOF on input2
edb at lapedb:/tmp$ cmp input input2 > /dev/null
cmp: EOF on input2
edb at lapedb:/tmp$ cmp input input2 2> /dev/null
edb at lapedb:/tmp$
I have attached a patch to match this behavior, if there is some deeper
reason for the change in hg, then we'll do it the other way around and
modify the tests.
gr
E.
