1265.0. "Srequest on decx11 isn t bdiffing files correctly" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Tue Feb 14 1995 20:10

Subj: 	Srequest on decx11 isn't bdiffing files correctly

I think Kathy Zaharchuk and Susan Monnelly have also seen this problem.  When
I perform an srequest in the decx11 pool to submit a small change and choose
the option to have the diffs included in the srequest, the entire file ends
up in the srequest form as a diff, as though the new revision were diffed 
against an empty file.  See srequest decx11-45-june as an example.  Some 
more info:

One file I bci'ed had the following added to the history as a result:

 * Revision 1.1.7.2  1995/02/13  15:51:04  Richard_June
 *      Enable const expression on OSF/1

The srequest says it diffed:

  bdiff -r$NEW -all >& bdiff.log

[ ./motif/lib/DXm/DXmPrivate.h ]
===================================================================
RCS file: ./motif/lib/DXm/DXmPrivate.h,v
retrieving revision 1.1
*** 1.1	1990/01/01 00:00:00
--- ./.rcstemp009569/DXmPrivate.h	1995/02/13 15:52:25

$NEW is equal to:

DECX11;XEXTERNAL;GOLDMINOR_BL4;<>

If I "bdiff -c -r$NEW DXmPrivate.h" from the command line I see the same
problem, the entire file shows up as a diff.

Thanks for the help.

I think I've fixed this - a configuration problem in the rc_files. I've 
updated the submit tree and nightly. See if it works any better.
