Hey everyone! Fedora user and long-time GNU/Linux enthusiast here. I am doing my best at
attempting to complete the requisite steps[1] for re-introducing the diffuse diff utility
to the official Fedora repositories. This is a light - yet very capable - GUI diff tool,
that integrates nicely with GNOME and other GTK-based environments. It was included in the
default repos until a couple of releases back[2]. The project was revived somewhat
recently, and has been ported to Python 3, seeing regular stable releases[3].
I currently administer a COPR repo[4] for said package, but believe it would be beneficial
for more users to have access to this very nice program, without having to add an external
repository. I am relatively new to packaging for Fedora, but have been steadily getting
better at it, and am in communication with the current developer of diffuse[5]. I hope
that I'm going about this the right way.
Please let me know if I should furnish any of you with additional information, otherwise I
am onto the next step in this process.
Thanks for your consideration!
