408711 - patch interdiff feature not working

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

BMO's interdiff feature, by which code reviewers can compare two versions
of a patch, is not working since the switch to the load balancer.

Steps to reproduce:

Go to any bug that has multiple patches attached, multiple versions of 
the same patch to the same version of the same source file.  Click on 
the "diff" link for one of the later patch versions.  Then in the 
page for that patch, select an earlier version of the patch and click 
the "diff" button.

Expected result:  A page showing the differences between the patches.
Actual result: A page showing no differences at all, as if the patches 
were identical.

I tested all the patchreader stuff *except* for comparing too patches.  Sorry about that.

Installed: patchutils.i386 0:0.2.31-2.2.2

Should work now.
