In-depth comparison of files, archives, and directories
diffoscope will try to get to the bottom of what makes files or
directories different. It will recursively unpack archives of many kinds
and transform various binary formats into more human readable form to
compare them. It can compare two tarballs, ISO images, or PDF just as
easily.
It can be scripted through error codes, and a report can be produced
with the detected differences. The report can be text or HTML.
When no type of report has been selected, diffoscope defaults
to write a text report on the standard output.
diffoscope is developed as part of the `“reproducible builds” Debian
project `_.
It is meant to be able to quickly understand why two builds of the same
package produce different outputs. diffoscope was previously named
debbindiff.

Revision 54 (latest revision is 95)
Sebastian Wagner (sebix)
committed
(revision 54)
- update to version 202: - Don't fail if comparing a nonexistent file with a .pyc file (and add test). (Closes: #1004312) - Drop a reference in the manual page which claims the ability to compare non-existent files on the command-line. This has not been possible since version 32 which was released in September 2015. (Closes: #1004182) - Add experimental support for incremental output support with a timeout. Passing, for example, --timeout=60 will mean that diffoscope will not recurse into any sub-archives after 60 seconds total execution time has elapsed and mark the diff as being incomplete. (Note that this is not a fixed/strict timeout due to implementation issues.) (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#301) - Don't return with an exit code of 0 if we encounter device file such as /dev/stdin with human-readable metadata that matches literal, non-device, file contents. (Closes: #1004198) - Correct a "recompile" typo. - Fix/update whitespace for Black 21.12. - update to version 201: - If the debian.deb822 module raises any exception on import, re-raise it as an ImportError instead. This should fix diffoscope on some Fedora systems. Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for suggesting this particular solution. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#300) - Fix json detection with file-5.41-3.fc36.x86_64.
