diffmo 2.8.1-21
File comparison utilities
This package is diffutils with renamed binaries so it works with Maemo 5
due to bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3032
The binaries should be the same, but have "mo" appended to them.
The diffmo package provides the diffmo, diff3mo, sdiffmo, and cmpmo programs.
`diffmo' shows differences between two files, or each corresponding file
in two directories. `cmpmo' shows the offsets and line numbers where
two files differ. `cmpmo' can also show all the characters that
differ between the two files, side by side. `diff3' shows differences
among three files. `sdiffmo' merges two files interactively.
The set of differences produced by `diffmo' can be used to distribute
updates to text files (such as program source code) to other people.
This method is especially useful when the differences are small compared
to the complete files. Given `diffmo' output, the `patch' program can
update, or "patch", a copy of the file.

Comments:
Now that there are the various *-gnu packages, I would suggest just using those instead of diffmo, which likely won't see updates. Thanks!
I forgot to mention that because of that common manpage, installation of one of those two packages fails miserably when the other one is installed.
Diffmo installs a common man page (even if it latter purged) with diffutils-gnu (/usr/share/man/man1/diff3.1.gz).
I suggest you change diffmo package to either not include this (useless) man page, or to conflict with diffutils-gnu.
In any case, you should contact the author of diffutils-gnu to avoid duplicate work.
Otherwise, thanks for packaging this.
