Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.


I have got only little notices for you:
1. If you would like to distribution test*/ (the example code), you can also licensed it under the terms of the GPL or the Public Domain, but please don't distribute it without licensed notices (and if you decide to put the GNU GPL header there, also copyright notices).

2. The address of the FSF has changed, and is now:

  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

Please update your license notices.

Updates versions of the GPL, LGPL and GFDL can also be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt

Please update the copy of the license (usually, the 'COPYING' file) in your package as well.

You can find some background and a possible migration script at https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3766

This does NOT affect your source code, but ours. So feel free to correct the FSF address in the files copyrighted by the FSF. :-)



I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval.

Regards.

Full Name:
----------
  Numdiff

System Group Name:
-----------------
  numdiff

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  Numdiff is a program, written entirely in C, which
compares putatively similar files line by line and field by field,
ignoring small numeric differences or/and different numeric formats.
The files can also contain non-numerical fields, since
Numdiff can manage them in a suitable way: for non-numerical
fields Numdiff does the usual byte-by-byte comparison.
I wrote Numdiff because programs like `diff', `wdiff' or `cmp'
are not much useful when one wants to compare a couple of text files composed partially or entirely by numerical fields. 
Indeed, when you compare a couple of such files,
what you want to obtain usually is a list of the numerical fields in
the second file which numerically differ from the corresponding
fields in the first file.
Numdiff is distributed under GNU General Public License. It contains
code coming from GNULIB and GNU bc, which, of course, are free
software. The accompanying documentation is distributed
under GNU Free Documentation License and it is mantained in Texinfo
format. The building system has been written by using GNU Autoconf,
so Numdiff can be installed through the usual steps: configure, make
and make install. At last, it comes with partial I18N and L10N
support (it relies on GNU gettext), making easy to translate
the messages printed by Numdiff in any language using an ASCII or
ISO-8859-* character encoding. The current snapshot of Numdiff can be retrieved at the following URL:
          ftp://ftp.mat.uniroma1.it/public/primi/numdiff-3.0.tar.gz


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Numdiff can be compiled with support for High Precision
Arithmetic. This support relies on HPALib, a free computational
library currently hosted at Savannah:
