Tue Jul  9 13:21:55 UTC 2024 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>

- update to 272:
  * Move away from using DSA OpenSSH keys in tests; support has
    been removed in OpenSSH 9.8p1.
  * Move to assert_diff helper in test_openssh_pub_key.py
  * Update tests to support zipdetails version 4.004 shipped with
    Perl 5.40.
  * Drop apktool from Build-Depends; we can still test our APK
    code via autopkgtests. (Closes: #1071410)
  * Fix tests for 7zip version 24.05.
  * Add a versioned dependency for at least version 5.4.5 for the
    xz tests; they fail under (at least xz 5.2.8).
  * Relax Chris' versioned xz test dependency (5.4.5) to also
    allow version 5.4.1.
  * Include "xz --verbose --verbose" (ie. double --verbose)
    output, not just the single --verbose. (Closes: #1069329)
  * Only include "xz --list" output if the xz has no other
    differences.
  * Use "xz --list" to supplement the output when comparing .xz
    archives; essential when some underlying metadata differs.
  * Actually append the xz --list after the container
    differences, as it simplifies tests and the output.
  * Maintain an in-header boolean state to determine whether to
    drop from-file/to-file lines. This fixes an issue where HTML
    differences were being inadvertendly neglected.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 22 21:12:38 UTC 2024 - Joshua Smith <smolsheep@opensuse.org>

- Update to 265:
  * Ensure that tests with ">=" version constraints actually print
    the corresponding tool name.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#370)
  * Prevent odt2txt tests from always being skipped due to an
    impossibly new version requirement.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#369)
  * Avoid nested parens-in-parens when printing "skipping…"
    messages in the testsuite.

- Update to 264:
  * Don't crash on invalid zipfiles, even if we encounter 'badness'
    halfway through the file. (Re: #1068705)
  * Add note when there are duplicate entries in ZIP files.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!140)
  * Add an external tool reference for GNU Guix for zipdetails.

- Update to 263:
  * Add support for the zipdetails(1) tool included in the Perl
    distribution.
  * Don't use parenthesis within test "skipping…" messages; PyTest
    adds its own parenthesis, so we were ending up with double
    nested parens.
  * Fix the .epub tests after supporting zipdetails(1).
  * Update copyright years and debian/tests/control.
  * Fix MozillaZipContainer's monkeypatch after Python's zipfile
    module changed to detect potentially insecure overlapping
    entries within .zip files.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#362)

- Update to 262:
  * Factor out Python version checking in test_zip.py. (Re: #362)
  * Also skip some zip tests under 3.10.14 as well; a potential
    regression may have been backported to the 3.10.x series. The
    underlying cause is still to be investigated. (Re: #362)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Mar 24 17:59:20 UTC 2024 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>

- update to 261 (bsc#1220157, CVE-2024-25711):
  * Don't crash if we encounter an .rdb file without an
    equivalent .rdx file.
  * Actually test 7z support in the test_7z set of tests, not the
    lz4 functionality.
  * In addition, correctly check for the 7z binary being
    available (and not lz4) when testing 7z.
  * Prevent a traceback when comparing a contentful .pyc file
    with an empty one. (Re: Debian:#1064973)
  * Don't error-out with a traceback if we encounter
    "struct.unpack"-related errors when parsing .pyc files.
  * Fix compatibility with PyTest 8.0.
  * Don't try and compare rdb_expected_diff on non-GNU systems as
    %p formatting can vary.
  * Use the 7zip package (over p7zip-full) after package
    transition.
  * Parse the header and hunksize of diffs strictly before
    parsing the context below.
  * Reformat code to comply with the latest version of Black
    (24.1.1).
  * Expand the previous changelog entry to include the CVE number
    that was subsequently assigned.
  * Bump the miniumum Black requirement to run the "Black clean"
    test and make test_zip.py Black clean.
  * CVE-2024-25711: Use a determistic name when extracting
    content from GPG artifacts instead of trusting the value of
    gpg's --use- embedded-filenames.
  * Temporarily fix support for Python 3.11.8 re. a potential
    regression with the handling of ZIP files.
  * Add/fix compatibility for Python progressbar 2.5 & 3.0 etc.
  * Add external tool on GNU Guix for 7z.
  * Improve DOS/MBR extraction by adding support for 7z.
  * Process objdump symbol comment filter inputs as the Python
    "bytes" type (and not str). (Closes: reproducible-
    builds/diffoscope#358)
  * Add a missing RequiredToolNotFound import.
  * Update copyright years.
  * As UI/UX improvement, try and avoid printing an extended
    traceback if diffoscope runs out of memory. This may not
    always be possible to detect.
  * Mark diffoscope as stable in setup.py (for PyPI.org).
    Whatever diffoscope is, at least, not "alpha" anymore.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Nov  1 17:44:17 UTC 2023 - Andrea Manzini <andrea.manzini@suse.com>

- removed patch fix-file-5.45.patch as included in upstream

- Update to version 251:
  * If the equivalent of `file -i` returns text/plain, fallback to comparing
    this file as a text file. This especially helps when file(1) miscategorises
    text files as some esoteric type.

- Update to version 250:
  * Fix compatibility with file 5.45.
  * Add external tool references for GNU Guix (for html2text and ttx).

- Update to version 249:
  * Add specialize_as() method, and use it to speed up .smali comparison in APKs.
  * Add documentation for the new specialize_as, and expand the documentation
    of `specialize` too.
  * Correct typos in diffoscope/presenters/utils.py.

- Update to version 246:
  * Add support for LLVM 16.

- Update to version 244:
  * Address compatibility with python-libarchive-c version 5.
  * Testsuite changes

- Update to version 243:
  * Improve the documentation on to produce that binary blob that in the arsc comparator.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Aug  5 07:58:48 UTC 2023 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix@sebix.at>

- Add fix-file-5.45.patch to fix compatibility with file version 5.45
  https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/-/issues/346
- update to version 242:
 - If the binwalk Python module is not available, ensure the user knows they
   may be missing more differences in, for example, concatenated .cpio
   archives.
 - Factor out routine to generate a human-readable comments when
   Python modules are missing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May  3 19:25:34 UTC 2023 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>

- update to 241:
  * Add a missing 'raise' statement
  * document sending out an email upon release
  * Drop the use of include_package_data=True in setup.py.
  * Fix compatibility with pypdf 3.x, and correctly restore test
    data.
  * Rework PDF annotations processing into a separate method.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar  3 08:53:06 UTC 2023 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>

- update to 238:
  * autopkgtest: fix tool name in the skippable list.
  * autopkgtest: only install aapt and dexdump on architectures
    where they are available.
  * Drop backward compatibility assignment.
  * Fix flake warnings, potentially reinstating PyPDF 1.x
    support (untested).
  * Update code to match latest version of Black.
  * Require at least Black version 23.1.0 to run the internal
    Black tests.
  * Update copyright years.
  * Fix compatibility with PyPDF2.
  * Fix compatibility with ImageMagick 7.1.
  * Update from PyPDF2 to pypdf.
  * Add support for Android resources.arsc files.
  * Add support for dexdump.
  * Improve DexFile's FILE_TYPE_RE and add
    FILE_TYPE_HEADER_PREFIX, and remove
    "Dalvik dex file" from ApkFile's FILE_TYPE_RE as well.
  * Update external tool for isoinfo on guix.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Jan 21 11:18:35 UTC 2023 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>

- update to 233:
  * Split packaging metadata into an extras_require.json file instead of using
    the pep517 and the pip modules directly. This was causing build failures if
    not using a virtualenv and/or building without internet access.
  * Add an external tool reference for GNU Guix (lzip).
  * Drop an external tool reference for GNU Guix (pedump).
  * Split inline Python code in shell script to generate test dependencies to a
    separate Python script.
  * No need for "from __future__ import print_function" import in setup.py
    anymore.
  * Comment and tidy the new extras_require.json handling.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

  * Support Berkeley DB version 6.
- 229:
  * Skip test_html.py::test_diff if html2text is not installed.
    (Closes: #1026034)
  * Bump standards version to 4.6.2, no changes needed.
- 228:
  * As an optimisation, don't run apktool if no differences are detected before
    the signing block. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!105)
  * Support both the python3-progressbar and python3-progressbar2 Debian
    packages, two modules providing the "progressbar" Python module.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#323)
  * Ensure we recommend apksigcopier. (Re: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!105)
  * Make the code clearer around generating the Debian substvars and tidy
    generation of os_list.
  * Update copyright years.
- 227:
  * Don't attempt to attach text-only differences notice if there are no
    differences to begin with. (Closes: #1024171, #1024349)
  * Don't run Python decompiling tests on Python bytecode that both file(1)
    cannot yet detect and Python 3.11 cannot demarshall. (Closes: #1024335)
- 226:
  * Add an lzip comparator with tests.

    * Pylint tests/test_source.py.
  * Add lzip to debian dependencies.
- 225:
  * Add support for detecting ordering-only differences in XML files.
    (Closes: #1022146)
  * Fix an issue with detecting ordering differences. (Closes: #1022145)
  * Add support for ttx(1) from fonttools.
    (Re: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#315)
  * Test improvements:
    - Tidy up the JSON tests and use assert_diff over get_data and manual
      assert in XML tests.
    - Rename order1.diff to json_expected_ordering_diff for consistency.
    - Temporarily allow the stable-po pipeline to fail in the CI.
  * Use consistently capitalised "Ordering" everywhere we use the word in
    diffoscope's output.
- 224:
  * Fix rlib test failure with LLVM 15. Thanks to Gianfranco Costamagna
    (locutusofborg) for the patch.
- 223:
  * The cbfstools utility is now provided in Debian via the coreboot-utils
    Debian package, so we can enable that functionality within Debian.
    (Closes: #1020630)
  * Also include coreboot-utils in Build-Depends and Test-Depends so it is
    available for the tests.
  * Add support for file 5.43.
- 222:
  * Use pep517 and pip to load the requirements. (Closes: #1020091)
  * Remove old Breaks/Replaces in debian/control that have been obsoleted since
    bullseye

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Sep 22 17:01:08 UTC 2022 - Daniel Garcia <daniel.garcia@suse.com>

- update to version 221:
 - Don't crash if we can open a PDF file with PyPDF but cannot parse the
   annotations within. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#311)
 - Depend on the dedicated xxd package, not vim-common.
 - Update external_tools.py to reflect xxd/vim-common change.

- Remove test_python.test_diff because it's failing, it's not recognizing the
  pyc file type with the tests fixtures
https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/-/issues/284#note_280561

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Aug 17 07:16:08 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 220:
 - Support Haskell 9.x series files and update the test files to match. Thanks
   to Scott Talbert for the relevant info about the new format.
   (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#309)
 - Fix a regression introduced in diffoscope version 207 where diffoscope
   would crash if one directory contained a directory that wasn't in the
   other. Thanks to Alderico Gallo for the report and the testcase.
   (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#310)
- update to version 219:
 - Don't traceback if we encounter an invalid Unicode character in Haskell
   versioning headers. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#307)
 - Update various copyright years.
- update to version 218:
 - Improve output of Markdown and reStructuredText to use code blocks with
   syntax highlighting. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#306)
- update to version 217:
 - Update test fixtures for GNU readelf 2.38 (now in Debian unstable).
 - Be more specific about the minimum required version of readelf (ie.
   binutils) as it appears that this "patch" level version change resulted in
   a change of output, not the "minor" version. (Closes: #1013348)
 - Don't leak the (likely-temporary) pathname when comparing PDF documents.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun 21 09:09:17 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 216:
 - Print profile output if we were called with --profile and we receive a
   TERM signal.
 - Emit a warning if/when we are handling a TERM signal.
 - Clarify in the code in what situations the main "finally" block gets
   called, especially in relation to handling TERM signals.
 - Clarify and tidy some unconditional control flow in diffoscope.profiling.
- update to version 215:
 - Bug fixes:
   - Also catch IndexError (in addition to ValueError) when parsing .pyc
     files. (Closes: #1012258)
   - Strip "sticky" etc. from "x.deb: sticky Debian binary package […]".
     Thanks to David Prévot for the report. (Closes: #1011635)
   - Correctly package diffoscope's scripts/ directory, fixing the extraction
     of vmlinuz kernel images. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#305)
   - Correct the logic for supporting different versions of argcomplete in
     debian/rules.
 - New features:
   - Support both PyPDF 1.x and 2.x.

     re.sub directly.
   - Clarify the logic around the difference between --usage and --help.
 - Testsuite improvements:
   - Integrate test coverage with GitLab's concept of artifacts.
   - Re-enable Gnumeric tests as its now available again.
   - Test --help and --usage, and additionally test that --help includes
     the programmatically-generated file format list as well.
 - Bump Standards Version field in debian/control to 4.6.1.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun May 22 10:16:02 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 213:
 - Don't mask differences in .zip/.jar central directory extra fields.
 - Don't show a binary comparison of .zip/.jar files if we have at least
   one observed nested difference.
 - Use assert_diff in test_zip over get_data and separate assert.
- update to version 212:
 - Add support for extracting vmlinuz/vmlinux Linux kernel images.
   (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#304)
 - Some Python .pyc files report as "data", so support ".pyc" as a
   fallback extension.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat May  7 19:59:00 UTC 2022 - Ferdinand Thiessen <rpm@fthiessen.de>

- Update to version 211:
  * Drop mplayer from the Build-Depends, it's not needed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Apr 19 14:29:46 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 210:
 - Make sure that PATH is properly mangled for all diffoscope actions, not
   just when running comparators.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Apr  1 19:16:51 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 209:

   (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#292)
 - Remove a superfluous log message and reformatt comment lines.
 - Reformat various files to satisfy current version of Black.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar  4 18:59:10 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 207:
 - Fix a gnarly regression when comparing directories against non-directories.
   (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#292)
 - Use our assert_diff utility where we can within test_directory.py

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb 25 20:08:22 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 206:
 - Also allow "Unicode text, UTF-8 text" as well as "UTF-8 Unicode text" to
   match for .buildinfo files too.
 - Add a test for recent file(1) issue regarding .changes files.
   (Re: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#291)
 - Drop "_PATH" suffix from some module-level globals that are not paths.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 21 11:21:46 UTC 2022 - Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>

- update to 205:
  * Fix a file(1)-related regression where .changes files that contained
    non-ASCII text were not identified as being .changes files, resulting in
    seemingly arbitrary packages on tests.reproducible-builds.org and elswhere
    not comparing the package at all. The non-ASCII parts could have been in
    the Maintainer or in the upload changelog, so we were effectively
    penalising anyone outside of the Anglosphere.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#291)
  * Don't print a warning to the console regarding NT_GNU_BUILD_ID changes in
    ELF binaries.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb 11 19:14:39 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 204:
 - Don't run the binwalk comparator tests as root (or fakeroot) as the
   latest version of binwalk has some security protection against doing
   precisely this.
 - If we fail to scan a file using binwalk, return 'False' from
   BinwalkFile.recognizes rather than raise a traceback.
 - If we fail to import the Python "binwalk" module, don't accidentally report
   that we are missing the "rpm" module instead.
 - Use dependencies to ensure that "diffoscope" and "diffoscope-minimal"
   packages always have the precise same version.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb  4 16:51:28 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 203:
 - Improve documentation for --timeout due to a few misconceptions.
   Add an allowed-to-fail test regarding a regression in directory handling.
 - Tidy control flow in Difference._reverse_self a little.
 - Fix diffing CBFS names that contain spaces.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 28 16:24:38 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 21 16:48:00 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 14 09:22:48 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 200:
 - Even if a Sphinx .inv inventory file is labelled "The remainder of this
   file is compressed using zlib", it might not actually be. In this case,
   don't traceback, and simply return the original content.
   (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#299)
 - Update "X has been modified after NT_GNU_BUILD_ID has been applied" message
   to, for instance, not duplicating the full filename in the primary
   diffoscope's output.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan  7 09:00:17 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 199:
 - Support both variants of "odt2txt", including the one provided by unoconv.
   (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#298)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan  3 11:42:21 UTC 2022 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 198:
 - Support showing "Ordering differences only" within .dsc field values.
   (Closes: #1002002, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#297)
 - Support OCaml versions 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13. (Closes: #1002678)
 - Add support for XMLb files. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#295)
 - Also add, for example, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to our internal PATH.
 - Also recognize "GnuCash file" files as XML.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Dec 17 11:59:51 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 197:
 - Drop unnecessary has_same_content_as logging calls.
 - Ignore the new "binary-with-bad-dynamic-table" Lintian tag.
 - Support pgpdump 0.34 in the tests. Thanks to Michael Weiss
   <dev.primeos@gmail.com> for reporting and testing the fix.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Dec 10 16:35:04 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 196:
 - Add a comment/annotation when the GNU_BUILD_ID field has been modified.
 - Fix the "Black" version detection.
 - Replace "token" with anonymous variable "x" in order to remove extra lines.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Dec  5 19:18:58 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 195:
 - Don't use the runtime platform's native endianness when unpacking .pyc
   files to fix test failures on big-endian machines.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov 28 07:31:54 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 194:

- update to version 192:
 - Update .epub test methodology after improving XML file parsing.
- update to version 191:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct  1 18:33:10 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 186:
 - Don't call close_archive when garbage-collecting Archive instances unless
   open_archive returned successfully. This prevents, amongst others, an
   AttributeError traceback due to PGPContainer's cleanup routines assuming
   that its temporary directory had been created.
   (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#276)
 - Ensure that the string "RPM archives" exists in the package description,
   regardless of whether python3-rpm is installed or not at build time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Aug 29 09:41:54 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 182:
 - Also ignore, for example, spurious "fwGCC: (Debian ... )" lines in output
   from strings(1).
 - Only use "java -jar /path/to/apksigner.jar" if we have a .jar as newer
   versions of apksigner use a shell wrapper script which will obviously be
   rejected by the JVM. Also mention in the diff if apksigner is missing.
 - Pass "-f" to apktool to avoid creating a strangely-named subdirectory and
   to simplify code.
 - If we specify a suffix for temporary file or directory, ensure it starts
   with a "_" to make the generated filenames more human-readable.
 - Drop an unused File import.
 - Update the minimum version of the Black source code formatter.
 - Support parsing the return value of squashfs versions which discriminate
   between fatal and non-fatal errors.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Aug 20 19:49:53 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 181:
 - New features and bug fixes:
   - Don't require apksigner in order to compare .apk files using apktool.
   - Add a special-case to squshfs image extraction to not fail if we aren't
     root/superuser. (Closes: #991059)
   - Reduce the maximum line length to avoid O(n^2) Wagner-Fischer algorithm,
     which meant that diff generation took an inordinate amount of time.
     (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#272)
   - Include profiling information in --debug output if --profile is not set.
   - Don't print an orphan newline when the Black source code formatter
     self-test passes.
 - Tests:
   - Update test to check specific contents of squashfs listing, otherwise it
     fails depending on the test systems uid-to-username mapping in passwd(5).
   - Assign "seen" and "expected" values to local variables to improve
     contextual information in/around failed tests.
 - Misc changes:
   - Print the size of generated HTML, text (etc.) reports.
   - Profile calls to specialize and diffoscope.diff.linediff.
   - Update various copyright years.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Aug  8 18:02:08 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 180:
 - Don't include specific ".debug"-like lines in the output, as it invariably
   a duplicate of the debug ID that exists in a better form in the readelf(1)
   differences for this file.
 - Also ignore include short "GCC" lines that differs on a single prefix byte
   too. These are distracting, not very useful and are simply the strings(1)
   command's idea of the build ID, which, again, is displayed nearby in the
   file's diff.
 - Update the invocation arguments and tests for the latest version of
   odt2txt.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jul 30 08:18:51 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

  (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#258)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 14 16:24:12 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- update to version 175:
  * Use the actual filesystem path name (instead of diffoscope's concept of the
    source name) to correct APK filename filtering when an APK file is in
    another container -- we need to filter the auto-generated "1.apk" instead
    of "original-filename.apk". (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#255)
  * Don't call os.path.basename twice.
  * Correct grammar in a fsimage.py debug message.
  * Add a comment about stripping filenames.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May  7 11:27:26 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- remove fix-file-5.40.patch, merged upstream
- update to version 174:
  * Check that we are parsing an actual Debian .buildinfo file, not just
    a file with that extension.
    (Closes: deb#987994, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#254)
  * Support signed .buildinfo files again -- file(1) reports them as
    "PGP signed message".
  * Make the testsuite pass with file(1) version 5.40.
  * Embed some short test fixtures in the test code itself.
  * Fix recognition of compressed .xz files with file(1) 5.40.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun May  2 08:38:43 UTC 2021 - Sebastian Wagner <sebix+novell.com@sebix.at>

- remove fix-tests-libmix_differences-2.patch, merged upstream
- remove fix-tests-libmix_differences.patch, merged upstream

- update to version 173
  * Add support for showing annotations in PDF files.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#249)
  * Move to assert_diff in test_pdf.py.
  * Difference.__init__: Demote unified_diff argument to a Python "kwarg".
- update to version 172
  * If zipinfo(1) shows a difference but we cannot uncover a difference within
    the underlying .zip or .apk file, add a comment and show the binary
    comparison. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#246)
  * Make "error extracting X, falling back to binary comparison E" error
    message nicer.
- update to version 171
  * Do not list as a "skipping reason" tools that do exist.
  * Drop the "compose" tool from the list of required tools for these tests,
    since it doesn't seem to be required.
- update to version 170
  * Avoid frequent long lines in RPM header outputs that cause very very slow
    HTML outputs. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#245)
  * Fix test_libmix_differences on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#244)
  * Move test_rpm to use the assert_diff utility helper.
  * Add a diffoscope.tools.get_tools() method to support programmatically
    fetching Diffoscope's config.
  * Become tolerant of malformed Debian .changes files.
- update to version 169
  * Optimisations:
    - Use larger buffer/block sizes when extracting files from libarchive-
      based archives.
    - Use a much-shorter CSS class (instead of "diffponct") to dramatically
      reduce uncompressed HTML output.
  * Logging improvements:
    - Don't emit "Unable to stat file" warning/debug messages; we have
      entirely-artificial directory entries such as ELF sections which, of
      course, never exist as filesystem files.
    - Don't emit a "Returning a FooContainer" logging message - we already emit
      "Instantiating a FooContainer" one and are unlikely to fail in the
      middle.
    - Format the report size logging messages when generating HTML reports.
    - Add the target directory when logging which directory we are extracting
      containers to.
  * Miscellaneous:
    - Ignore "--debug" and similar arguments when creating a (hopefully useful)
      temporary directory.
    - Ensure all internal temporary directories have useful names.
    - Clarify a comment regarding diffoscope not extracting excluded files.
  * Skip a DEX-related test if the "procyon" tool is unavailable.

- Update dependencies
- Update to version 168:
  * Don't call difflib.Differ.compare with very large inputs; it is at least
    O(n^2) and makes diffoscope appear to hang.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#240)
  * Don't use "Inheriting PATH of X" in debug log message; use "PATH is X".
  * Correct the capitalisation of jQuery.

      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#239)
    - If our temporary directory does not exist anymore (eg. it has been
      cleaned up in tests, signal handling or reference counting),  make sure
      we recreate it.
  * Bug fixes:
    - Don't rely on magic.Magic(...) to have an identical API between file's
      magic.py and PyPI's "python-magic" library.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#238)
    - Don't rely on dumpimage returning an appropriate exit code; check that
      the file actually exists after we call it.
  * Codebase changes:
    - Set a default Config.extended_filesystem_attributes.
    - Drop unused Config.acl and Config.xattr attributes.
    - Tidy imports in diffoscope/comparators/fit.py.
  * Tests:
    - Add u-boot-tools to test dependencies so that salsa.debian.org pipelines
      actually test the new FIT comparator.
    - Strip newlines when determining Black version to avoid "requires black
      >= 20.8b1 (18.9b0\n detected)" in test output (NB. embedded newline).
    - Gnumeric is back in testing so re-add to test dependencies.
    - Use assert_diff (over get_data, etc.) in the FIT and APK comparators.
    - Mark test_apk.py::test_android_manifest as being allowed to fail for now.
    - Fix the FIT tests in buster and unstable.
- Update to version 166:

    - Increase fuzzy matching threshold to 130 ensure that we show more
      differences. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#232)
    - Save our sys.argv in our top-level temporary directory in case it
      helps debug current/errant temporary directories.
    - Prefer to use "magic.Magic" over the "magic.open" compatibility
      interface. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#236)
    - Reduce fuzzy threshold to 110 to prevent some test failures.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#233)
  * Output improvements:
    - Show fuzzyness amount in percentage terms, not out of the
      rather-arbitrary "400".

    - Update my copyright years.
    - Clarify the grammar of a comment.

  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Override several lintian warnings regarding prebuilt binaries in the
  * source.
  * Add a pytest.ini file to explicitly use Junit's xunit2 format.
  * Ignore the Python DeprecationWarning message regarding the `imp` module

    profiling).
  * Add a note regarding the specific ordering of the new
    all_tools_are_listed test.
  [ Dimitrios Apostolou ]
  * Performance improvements:
    - Improve speed of has_same_content by spawning cmp(1) less frequently.
    - Log whenever the external cmp(1) command is spawn.ed
    - Avoid invoking external diff for identical, short outputs.

      only a single extension to match.
    - Move generation of debian/tests/control.tmp to an external script.
    - Move to our assert_diff helper entirely in the PGP tests.
    - Drop some unnecessary control flow, unnecessary dictionary comprehensions
      and some unused imports found via pylint.
  * Include the filename in the "... not identified by any comparator"
    logging message.
- Update to version 156:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Update PPU tests for compatibility with Free Pascal versions 3.2.0 or
    greater. (Closes: deb#968124)
  * Emit a debug-level logging message when our ppudump(1) version does not
    match file header.
  * Add and use an assert_diff helper that loads and compares a fixture output
    to avoid a bunch of test boilerplate.
  [ Frazer Clews ]
  * Apply some pylint suggestions to the codebase.
- Update to version 155:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Bump Python requirement from 3.6 to 3.7 - most distributions are either
    shipping3.5 or 3.7, so supporting 3.6 is not somewhat unnecessary and also
    more difficult to test locally.
  * Improvements to setup.py:
    - Apply the Black source code reformatter.
    - Add some URLs for the site of PyPI.org.
    - Update "author" and author email.
  * Explicitly support Python 3.8.
  [ Frazer Clews ]
  * Move away from the deprecated logger.warn method logger.warning.
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Document ("classify") on PyPI that this project works with Python 3.8.
- Update to version 154:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Add support for F2FS filesystems.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#207)
  * Allow "--profile" as a synonym for "--profile=-".
  * Add an add_comment helper method so don't mess with our _comments list
    directly.
  * Add missing bullet point in a previous changelog entry.
  * Use "human-readable" over unhyphenated version.
  * Add a bit more debugging around launching guestfs.
  * Profile the launch of guestfs filesystems.
  * Correct adding a comment when we cannot extract a filesystem due to missing
    guestfs module.
- Update to version 153:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Drop some legacy argument styles; --exclude-directory-metadata and
    --no-exclude-directory-metadata have been replaced with
    --exclude-directory-metadata={yes,no}.
  * Code improvements:
    - Make it easier to navigate the main.py entry point.
    - Use a relative import for get_temporary_directory in diffoscope.diff.
    - Rename bail_if_non_existing to exit_if_paths_do_not_exist.
    - Rewrite exit_if_paths_do_not_exist to not check files multiple times.
  * Documentation improvements:
    - CONTRIBUTING.md:
      - Add a quick note about adding/suggesting new options.
      - Update and expand the release process documentation.
      - Add a reminder to regenerate debian/tests/control.
    - README.rst:
      - Correct URL to build job on Jenkins.
      - Clarify and correct contributing info to point to salsa.debian.org.
- Update to version 152:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Bug fixes:
    - Don't require zipnote(1) to determine differences in a .zip file as we
      can use libarchive directly.
  * Reporting improvements:
    - Don't emit "javap not found in path" if it is available in the path but
      it did not result in any actual difference.
    - Fix "... not available in path" messages when looking for Java
      decompilers; we were using the Python class name (eg. "<class
      'diffoscope.comparators.java.Javap'>") over the actual command we looked
      for (eg. "javap").
  * Code improvements:
    - Replace some simple usages of str.format with f-strings.
    - Tidy inline imports in diffoscope.logging.
    - In the RData comparator, always explicitly return a None value in the
      failure cases as we return a non-None value in the "success" one.
  [ Jean-Romain Garnier ]
  * Improve output of side-by-side diffs, detecting added lines better.
    (MR: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!64)
  * Allow passing file with list of arguments to ArgumentParser (eg.
    "diffoscope @args.txt"). (MR: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!62)
- Update to version 151:
  [ Chris Lamb]
  * Improvements and bug fixes:
    - Pass the absolute path when extracting members from SquashFS images as we
      run the command with our working directory set to the temporary
      directory. (Closes: deb#964365, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#189)
    - Increase the minimum length of the output from strings(1) to 8 characters
      to avoid unnecessary diff noise. (Re. reproducible-builds/diffoscope#148)
  * Logging improvements:
    - Fix the compare_files message when the file does not have a literal name.
    - Reduce potential log noise by truncating the has_some_content messages.
  * Codebase changes:
    - Clarify use of a "null" diff in order to remember an exit code.
    - Don't alias a variable when don't end up it; use "_" instead.
    - Use a  "NullChanges" file to represent missing data in the Debian package
      comparator.
    - Update some miscellaneous terms.
- Update to version 150:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Don't crash when listing entries in archives if they don't have a listed
    size (such as hardlinks in .ISO files).
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#188)
  * Dump PE32+ executables (including EFI applications) using objdump.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#181)
  * Tidy detection of JSON files due to missing call to File.recognizes that
    checks against the output of file(1) which was also causing us to attempt
    to parse almost every file using json.loads. (Whoops.)
  * Drop accidentally-duplicated copy of the new --diff-mask tests.
  * Logging improvements:
    - Split out formatting of class names into a common method.
    - Clarify that we are generating presenter formats in the opening logs.
  [ Jean-Romain Garnier ]
  * Remove objdjump(1) offsets before instructions to reduce diff noise.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!57)
- Update to version 149:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Update tests for file 5.39. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#179)
  * Downgrade the tlsh warning message to an "info" level warning.
    (Closes: deb#888237, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#29)
  * Use the CSS "word-break" property over manually adding U+200B zero-width
    spaces that make copy-pasting cumbersome.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!53)
  * Codebase improvements:
    - Drop some unused imports from the previous commit.
    - Prevent an unnecessary .format() when rendering difference comments.
    - Use a semantic "AbstractMissingType" type instead of remembering to check
      for both "missing" files and missing containers.
  [ Jean-Romain Garnier ]
  * Allow user to mask/filter reader output via --diff-mask=REGEX.
    (MR: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!51)
  * Make --html-dir child pages open in new window to accommodate new web
    browser content security policies.
  * Fix the --new-file option when comparing directories by merging
    DirectoryContainer.compare and Container.compare.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#180)
  * Fix zsh completion for --max-page-diff-block-lines.
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Do not warn about missing tlsh during tests.
- Update to version 148:
  [ Daniel Fullmer ]
  * Fix a regression in the CBFS comparator due to changes in our_check_output.
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Add a remark in the deb822 handling re. potential security issue in the
    .changes, .dsc, .buildinfo comparator.
- Update to version 147:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * New features:
    - Add output from strings(1) to ELF binaries. It is intended this will
      expose expose build paths that are hidden somewhere within the objdump(1)
      output. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#148)
    - Add basic zsh shell tab-completion support.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#158)
  * Bug fixes:
    - Prevent a traceback when comparing a PDF document that does not contain
      any metadata, ie. it is missing a PDF "/Info" stanza.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#150)
    - Fix compatibility with jsondiff 1.2.0 which was causing a traceback and
      log the version of jsondiff we are using to aid debugging in the future.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#159
    - Fix an issue in GnuPG keybox handling that left filenames in the diff.
    - Don't mask an existing test name; ie. ensure it is actually run.
  * Reporting:
    - Log all calls to subprocess.check_output by using our own wrapper utility.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#151)
  * Code improvements:
    - Replace references to "WF" with "Wagner-Fischer" for clarity.
    - Drop a large number of unused imports (list_libarchive,
      ContainerExtractionError, etc.)
    - Don't assign exception to a variable that we do not use.
    - Compare string values with the equality operator, not via "is" identity.
    - Don't alias an open file to a variable when we don't use it.
    - Don't alias "filter" builtin.
    - Refactor many small parts of the HTML generation, dropping explicit
      u"unicode" strings, tidying the generation of the "Offset X, Y lines
      modified" messages, moving to PEP 498 f-strings where appropriate, etc.
    - Inline a number of single-used utility methods.
- Update to version 146:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Refactor .changes and .buildinfo handling to show all details (including
    the GPG header and footer components), even when referenced files are not
    present. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#122)
  * Normalise filesystem stat(2) "birth times" (ie. st_birthtime) in the same
    way we do with stat(1)'s "Access:" and "Change:" times to fix a
    nondetermistic build failure on GNU Guix.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#74)
  * Drop the (default) subprocess.Popen(shell=False) keyword argument so that
    the more unsafe shell=True is more obvious.
  * Ignore lower vs. upper-case when ordering our file format descriptions.
  * Don't skip string normalisation in Black.
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Add a "py3dist" override for the rpm-python module (Closes: deb#949598)
  * Bump the debhelper compat level to 13 and use the new
    execute_after_*/execture_before_* style rules.
  * Fix a spelling error in changelog.
  [ Daniel Fullmer ]
  * Mount GuestFS filesystem images readonly.
  [ Jean-Romain Garnier ]
  * Prevent an issue where (for example) LibarchiveMember's has_same_content
    method is called regardless of the actual type of file.
- Update to version 145:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Improvements:
    - Add support for Apple Xcode mobile provisioning .mobilepovision files.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#113)
    - Add support for printing the signatures via apksigner(1).
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#121)
    - Use SHA256 over MD5 when generating page names for the HTML directory
      presenter, validate checksums for files referenced in .changes files
      using SHA256 too, and move to using SHA256 in "Too much input for diff"
      output too. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#124)
    - Don't leak the full path of the temporary directory in "Command [..]
      exited with 1".  (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#126)
    - Identify "iOS App Zip archive data" files as .zip files.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#116)
  * Bug fixes:
    - Correct "differences" typo in the ApkFile handler.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#127)
  * Reporting/output improvements:
    - Never emit the same id="foo" TML anchor reference twice, otherwise
      identically-named parts will not be able to linked to via "#foo".
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#120)
    - Never emit HTML with empty "id" anchor lements as it is not possible to
      link to "#" (vs "#foo"). We use "#top" as a fallback value so it will
      work for the top-level parent container.
    - Clarify the message when we cannot find the "debian" Python module.
    - Clarify "Command [..] failed with exit code" to remove duplicate "exited
      with exit" but also to note that diffoscope is interpreting this as an
      error.
    - Add descriptions for the 'fallback' Debian module file types.
    - Rename the --debugger command-line argument to --pdb.
  * Testsuite improvements:
    - Prevent CI (and runtime) apksigner test failures due to lack of
      binfmt_misc on Salsa CI and elsewhere.
  * Codebase improvements:
    - Initially add a pair of comments to tidy up a slightly abstraction level
      violating code in diffoscope.comparators.mising_file and the
      .dsc/.buildinfo file handling, but replace this later by by inlining
      MissingFile's special handling of deb822 to prevent leaking through
      abstraction layers in the first place.
    - Use a BuildinfoFile (etc.) regardless of whether the associated files
      such as the orig.tar.gz and the .deb are present, but don't treat them as
      actual containers. (Re: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#122)
    - Rename the "Openssl" command class to "OpenSSLPKCS7" to accommodate other
      commands with this prefix.
    - Wrap a docstring across multiple lines, drop an inline pprint import and
      comment the HTMLPrintContext class, etc.
  [ Emanuel Bronshtein ]
  * Avoid build-cache in building the released Docker image.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#123)
  [ Holger Levsen ]
  * Wrap long lines in older changelog entries.
- Update to version 144:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Improvements:
    - Print the amount of free space that we have available in our temporary
      directory as a debugging message.
    - Remove (broken) fuzzy matching of JSON files as file 5.35 (in buster,
      released 2018-10-18) supports recognising JSON data.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#106)
    - Don't pretty-print the JSON output by default as it will usually be so
      complicated to be unreadable by the human eye and it can be easily
      replaced by piping to "| jq".
    - Don't print a traceback if we pass a single, missing argument to
      diffoscope (eg. a JSON diff to re-load).
  * Reporting/output improvements:
    - Reduce the default number of maximum standard error lines printed from 50
      to 25; usually the error is obvious by that point.
    - Clarify the message when we truncate the number of lines to standard
      error.
    - Clarify when an external command emits for both files, otherwise it can
      look like diffoscope is repeating itself when it is actually being run
      twice.
    - Don't repeat "stderr from {}" if both commands emit the same thing.
  * Dockerfile improvements:
    - Use ARG instead of ENV for DEBIAN_FRONTEND so we do not set this
      environment variable at runtime.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#103)
    - Run diffoscope as a non-root user in the runtime container.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#102)
    - Add a .dockerignore file to whitelist files we need in our container.
      Thanks to Emanuel Bronshtein for the original idea.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#105)
    - Install/remove the build-essential package during build so we can install
      the recommended packages from Git.
  * Testsuite improvements:
    - Include the Black output in the assertion failure too.
    - Update the Black self-test; we don't care about the length of the black
      output, rather whether it has some or, preferably, not.
  * Codebase improvements:
    - Bump the officially required version of Python from 3.5 to 3.6.
      (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#117)
    - Drop an unused shlex import.
    - Instruct linters to pass over a bare try-except when cleaning up
      temporary files used to extract archives.
    - Format diffoscope/comparators/utils/command.py according to Black
      19.10b0-3.
    - Drop entries from Uploaders that have not uploaded in over three years
      with esteemed thanks for their previous work.
    - Drop .travis.yml; we are using Salsa now and likely would not give
      support for running on Travis CI at this point.
  [ Jelle van der Waa ]
  * Update LLVM diff for LLVM version 10.
  [ Vagrant Cascadian ]
  * Add external tool reference on openssl for GNU Guix.
- Update to version 143:
  * Add support for .p7c and .p7b certificates.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#94)
  * Add "pdftotext" as a requirement to run the PDF test_metadata text. Special
    thanks to Chocimier/Piotr for the debugging work.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#99)
  * Improve the documentation of FALLBACK_FILE_TYPE_HEADER_PREFIX and
    FILE_TYPE_HEADER_PREFIX to note that only the first 16 bytes are used.
- Update to version 142:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Render multiline difference comments in a way to show indentation.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#101)
  * Correct parsing of "./setup.py test --pytest-args ...".
  * Capitalise "Ordering differences only" in text comparison comments.
  * Don't include the JSON similarity percentage if it is 0.0%.
  [ Ben Hutchings ]
  * Document how --exclude arguments are matched against filenames.
  [ Vagrant Cascadian ]
  * Add external tool reference for h5dump on Guix.
- Update to version 141:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Dalvik .dex files can also serve as APK containers. Restrict the narrower
    identification of .dex files to files ending with this extension, and widen
    the identification of APK files to when file(1) discovers a Dalvik file.
    (Closes: deb#884095, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#28)
  * Explicitly list python3-h5py in debian/tests/control.in to ensure that we
    have this module installed during an autopkgtest run to generate the test
    fixture & regenerate debian/tests/control from debian/tests/control.in
    to match.
  * Drop unnecessary and unused assignment to "diff" variable.
  * Strip paths from the output of zipinfo(1) warnings.
    (re. reproducible-builds/diffoscope#97)
  [ Michael Osipov ]
  * Revert to using zipinfo(1) directly instead of piping input via /dev/stdin
    for BSD portability. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#97)
  [ Jelle van der Waa ]
  * Add an external tool for h5dump on Arch.
- Update to version 140:
  * apktool 2.5.0 changed the handling of output of XML schemas, so update and
    restrict the corresponding test to match.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#96)
  * Add support for Hierarchical Data Format (HD5) files.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#95)
- Update to version 139:
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Fix Build-Depends on python3-pdfminer. (Closes: deb#955645)
- Update to version 138:
  * New features & bug fixes:
    - Use dumppdf from python3-pdfminer if we do not see any other differences
      from pdftext, etc. (reproducible-builds/diffoscope#92)
    - Prevent a traceback when comparing two .rdx files directly as get_member
      will return a file even if the file is missing and not raise a KeyError
      exception; we therefore explicitly test for the existence of the file.
    * Don't allow errors within "Rscript" deserialisation to cause the entire
      operation to fail (for example if an external library cannot be loaded).
      (reproducible-builds/diffoscope#91)
  * Reporting improvements:
    - Inject the supported file formats into the package long description and
      remove any duplicate comparator descriptions when formatting.
      (#reproducible-builds/diffoscope#90)
    - Print a potentially-helpful message if the PyPDF2 module is not installed
      (#reproducible-builds/diffoscope#92)
    - Weaken "Install the X package to get a better output" claim to "... may
      produce a better output" as this is not guaranteed.
  * Code improvements:
    - Inline the RequiredToolNotFound.get_package method; only used once.
    - Drop deprecated "py36 = [..]" argument in pyproject.toml.
    - Factor out generation of comparator descriptions.
    - Add an upstream metadata file.
- Update to version 137:
  * Also extract classes2.dex, classes3.dex etc. from .apk files.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#88)
  * Add generalised support for "ignoring" returncodes and move special-casing
    of returncodes in the zip comparator to this.
  * Accommodate sng returning with a UNIX exit code of 1 even if there minor
    errors in the file (discovered via #950806).
- Update to version 136:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Improvements:
    - Support external build tools. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#87)
    - Fallback to the regular .zip container format for .apk files if apktool
      is not available.
    - Clarify that "install X" in difference comment messages actually refer to
      a system/distribution package.
    - Drop the --max-report-size-child and --max-diff-block-lines-parent
      options; both deprecated and scheduled for removal in January 2018.
  * Bug fixes:
    - No longer raise a KeyError exception if we request an invalid member from
      a directory container.
  * Logging improvements:
    - Log a debug-level message if we cannot open a file as container due to a
      missing tool in order to assist diagnosing issues.
    - If we don't know the HTML output name, don't emit an enigmatic "html
      output for" message.
    - Add the current PATH environment variable to the "Normalising locale..."
      debug-level message.
    - Print the "Starting diffoscope $VERSION" line as the first line.
    - Correct a debug-level message for compare_meta calls to quote the
      arguments correctly.
  * Refactoring:
    - Add support for alternative container types for a file, allowing for
      runtime (vs import time) control of fallbacks such as adding comments.
      and append a comment to a difference if we fallback to an inferior
      container format due to missing a tool.
    - Factor-out the generation of "foo not available in path" difference
      comment messages as a helper method in the exception that represents
      them.
  * Code improvements:
    - Tidy diffoscope.main's configure method, factoring out the set of the
      Config() global out of the run_diffoscope method and inlining the
      functionality of maybe_set_limit, etc.
    - Rename diffoscope.locale module to diffoscope.environ as we are modifying
      things beyond just the locale (eg. calling tzset(), etc.)
    - Drop unused "Difference" import from the APK comparator.
    - Drop an assertion that is guaranteed by parallel "if" conditional.
    - Add a "noqa" line to avoid a false-positive flake8 "unused import"
      warning.
    - Turn down the "volume" for a recommendation in a comment.
  * Release/source-code management:
    - Add a .git-blame-ignore-revs file to improve the output of git-blame(1) by
      ignoring large changes when introducing the Black source code reformatter
      and update the CONTRIBUTING.md guide on how to optionally use it locally.
    - Convert CONTRIBUTING.rst to CONTRIBUTING.md and include it in the
      PyPI.org release.
  * Test improvements
    - Refresh and update the fixtures for the .ico tests to match the latest
      version of Imagemagick in Debian unstable.
  [ Holger Levsen ]
  * Bump Standards Version to 4.5.0, no changes needed.
  [ Marc Herbert ]
  * Search for expected keywords in the output of cbfstool tests and not a
    specific output. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!42)
- Update to version 135:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Extract resources.arsc files (as well as classes.dex) from Android .apk
    files to ensure that we at least show differences there. (Closes: deb#916359)
  * Always pass a filename with a ".zip" extension to zipnote otherwise it
    will return with an exit code of 9 and revert to a binary diff for the
    entire file.
  * Don't exhaustively output the entire HTML report when testing the
    regression for #875281; parsing the JSON and pruning the tree should be
    enough.
  * Factor out running all of our zipinfo variants into a new method and use
    this routine when comparing .apk files, thus now also displaying any
    differences exposed by bsdtar.
  * Testsuite improvements:
    - Always allow fixtures called "output*".
    - Actually test the output of the test_html_regression_875281 test.
  * Add a note to the "Contributing" page to suggest enable concurrency when
    running the tests locally.
  [ Marc Herbert ]
  * Fix a misplaced debug "Loading diff from stdin" logging message.
  * Add new "Testing" section to CONTRIBUTING.rst.
- Update to version 134:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Ensure that autopkgtests are run with our pyproject.toml present for the
    correct "black" source code formatter settings. (Closes: deb#945993)
  * Tidy some unnecessary boolean logic in the ISO9660 tests.
  * Rename the "text_option_with_stdiout" to "text_option_with_stdout".
  * Include the libarchive file listing for ISO images to ensure that
    timestamps (not just dates) are visible in any difference.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#81)
  [ Eli Schwartz ]
  * Fix an exception in the progressbar handler.
  [ Vagrant Cascadian ]
  * Add an external tool reference for zstd on GNU Guix.
- Update to version 133:
  * Correct the substitution/filtering of paths in ELF output to avoid
    unnecessary differences depending on the path name provided on the
    commandline. (Closes: deb#945572)
  * Silence/correct a SyntaxWarning message due to incorrectly comparing an
    integer by identity (is) over equality (==). (Closes: deb#945531)
- Update to version 132:
  * Allow all possible .zip variations to return with non-zero exit codes, not
    just known types we can explicitly identify (eg. Java .jmod and .jar
    files). (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#78)
  * Also permit UTF-8 encoded .dsc and .changes files.
    (Re: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#78)
  * Rework a long string of "or" statements into a loop with a "break".
- Update to version 131:
  * Clarify in the HTML and text outputs that the limits are per output format,
    not global. (Closes: deb#944882, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#76)
    - Bump the previous "max_page_size" limit from 400 kB to 4 MB.
  * Update an Android manifest test to reflect that parsed XML attributes are
    returned in a sorted or otherwise novel manner under Python 3.8.
  * Update code to reflect version 19.10b0 of the black source code
    reformatter and don't run our self-test for versions earlier than this as
    it will generate different results and thus fail.
  * Limit .dsc and .buildinfo matching; don't attempt to compare them as
    ELF sections or similar. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#77)
  * Add a comment that the text_ascii{1,2} test fixture files are used in
    multiple places so are not trivial to generate on the fly.
- Update to version 130:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * debian/tests/basic-command-line:
    Move from deprecated ADTTMP to AUTOPKGTEST_TMP.
  * Correct the matching of R .rds files by also detecting newer versions
    of this file format.
  * Drop unused BASE_DIR global in the tests.
  * Try and ensure that new test data files are generated dynamically, ie.
    at least no new ones are added without "good" reasons.
  * Truncate the tcpdump expected diff to 8KB (from ~600KB).
  * Refresh OCaml test fixtures to support OCaml >= 4.08.1.  Closes: deb#944709
  * Correct reference to the ".rdx" extension in a comment.
  * Update XML test for Python 3.8+.
  * Don't use line-base dbuffering when communucating with subprocesses
    in binary mode. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#75)
  [ Jelle van der Waa ]
  * Add support for comparing .zst files are created by zstd.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!34)
- Update to version 129:
  * Call R's "deparse" function to ensure that we do not error out and revert
    to a binary diff when processing .rdb files with internal "vector" types as
    they do not automatically coerce to strings.
  * Add the ability to pass Python bytestrings to external commands and
    pass our long script to parse R .rdb files using this new method over a
    long command-line argument
  * Use Rscript's --vanilla option over --no-environ as this also enables
    --no-save, --no-restore, --no-site-file and --no-init-file.
  * Improve command-line error messages:
    - Split out formatting into a separate utility function.
    - Truncate very long lines when displaying them as an external source
      of data.
    - When printing an error from a command, format the command for the user.
  * Use "exit code" over "return code" when referring to UNIX error codes in
    displayed differences.
- Update to version 128:
  * Query the container for the full path of the parallel R .rdx file for a
    .rdb file as well as looking in the same directory. This ensures that
    comparing two .deb/.changes files shows a varying path introduced in
    version 127.
- Update to version 127:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Move build-dependency on python-argcomplete to the Python 3.x version to
    facilitate Python 2.x removal. (Closes: deb#942967)
  * Overhaul the handling of GNU R .rdb files:
    - Rework and refactor the handling of .rdb files specifically with respect
      to locating the parallel .rdx file prior to inspecting the file to ensure
      that we do not add files to the user's filesystem in the case of directly
      comparing two .rdb files or, worse, overwriting a file in is place.
    - Use a ("""-formatted) docstring for our internal R script to dump
      variables.
    - Mask/hide standard errors; R will often produce noisy output that is not
      useful to us.
    - Don't include a useless and misleading "NULL".
    - Include all R object names are displayed, including ones beginning with a
      fullstop (".").
    - Sort package fields when dumping data for output stability.
    - Format package contents as "foo = bar" rather than using ugly and
      misleading brackets.
    - Include the object's type when dumping package contents.
    - Never read the site or user's R location environment configuration to
      ensure output stability.
    - Expose absolute paths in the semantic/human-readable output, preventing
      falling back to a useless hexdump.
  * Improve the formatting of command lines:
    - Ensure newlines and other metacharacters appear escaped as "\n", etc.
    - Use the newline (etc.) escaped version of the commandline being executed
      in logging/debug output.
    - When displaying standard error, ensure use the escaped version too.
  * Add support for easily masking the standard error of commands and use this
    in the ffprobe comparator.
  * To match the libarchive container, raise a KeyError exception if we request
    an invalid member from a directory container.
  * Correct string representation output in the traceback when we cannot locate
    a specific item in a container.
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Run Debian autopkgtests against all Python versions.
- Update to version 126:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Track and report on missing Python modules.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#72)
  * Drop some unnecessary control flow.
  * Drop explicit inheriting from 'object' class; unnecessary in Python 3.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.4.1.
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Exit with 2 instead of 1 in case of no disk space.
- Update to version 125:
  * The test_libmix_differences ELF test requires xxd. (Closes: deb#940645)
- Update to version 124:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Also conditionally skip the identification and "no differences" tests as we
    require the Ocaml compiler to be present when building the test files
    themselves. (Closes: deb#940471)
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Permit all sorts of version suffixes when checking the Debian package
    version matches setup.py, not just for backports. (Closes: deb#939387)
  [ Vagrant Cascadian ]
  * Add external tools on GNU Guix for odt2txt, sng and pgpdump.
  [ Marc Herbert ]
  * Remove StaticLibFile in the ELF comparator -- ArFile.compare_details() is
    superior. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#64)
- Update to version 123:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Build OCaml test input files on-demand rather than shipping them with the
    package in order to prevent test failures with OCaml 4.08.
    (Closes: deb#939386)
  * Update test skipping messages:
    - When skipping tests due to the lack of installed tool, print the package
      that may provide it.
    - Update "requires foo module" messages to clarify that they are regarding
      Python modules, not packages.
  * Rebuild the test squashfs images to exclude the character device as they
    requires root or fakeroot to extract. (reproducible-builds/diffoscope#65)
  * Remove accidentally-committed test fixture generation code from tests.
  * Set long_description_content_type to 'text/x-rst' in setup.py to appease
    the PyPI.org linter.
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Don't crash when the progress is requested but the Python module is
    missing. (Closes: deb#939085)
  [ Vagrant Cascadian ]
  * Add external tools for gifbuild, javap and kbxutil in GNU Guix.
  [ Marc Herbert ]
  * In the cbfs tests, add a "Comp" column test to support Coreboot
    utils > 4.6.
- Update to version 122:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Apply patch from László Böszörményi to update the squashfs test output and
    bump the required version for the test itself. (Closes: deb#935684)
  * Skip calls to unsquashfs when we are not root or fakeroot.
    (Re: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#63)
  * Include either standard error or standard output (and not just the latter)
    if/when an external command fails.
  * Fix a few unicode/bytes issues:
    - Avoid a possible traceback caused by a str/bytes confusion when handling
      the output of failing external commands.
    - Ensure that all of our artificially-created subprocess.CalledProcessError
      instances have `output` instances that are bytes objects, not str.
  * Improve debugging output:
    * Add the containing module name to the (eg.) "Using StaticLibFile for ..."
    * Improve and condense output when creating our Comparator object types.
  * Correct a reference to `parser.diff` as `diff` in this context is a Python
    function in the module, not the actual output returned from diff(1).
  * Add the "wabt" Debian package to the test dependencies so that we run the
    wasm tests.
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Now that we test-require wabt, expect that its tools to be available during
    autopkgtests.
- Update to version 121:
  * Don't fallback to a (useless) raw hexdump when readelf(1) reports an minor
    issue in a section in an ELF binary. For example, when the "frames" section
    is of the "NOBITS" type, its contents are apparently "unreliable" and thus
    readelf(1) exits with a returncode of 1. (Closes: deb#849407, #931962)
  * Add support to Difference.from_command_exc and friends to optionally ignore
    specified returncodes from the called program and treat them as "no"
    difference.
  * Simplify the parsing of the optional "command_args" argument to the
    from_command and from_command_exc methods in the Difference class.
- Update to version 120:
  * No-change sourceful after accidentally uploading binaries in order to
    migration to testing.
- Update to version 119:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * If a command fails to execute but does not print anything to standard
    error, try and include the first line of standard output in the message we
    include in the diff. This was motivated by readelf(1) returning its error
    messages on stdout. (Closes: deb#931963)
  * Add support for Java ".jmod" modules. Not all versions of file(1) support
    detection of Jmod files yet, so we perform a manual comparison instead.
    (Closes: deb#933308)
  * Re-add "return code" noun to "Command `foo` exited with X" error messages.
  * Factor out the ability to ignore the exit codes of "zipinfo" and
    "zipinfo -v" in the presence of non-standard headers.
  * Only override the exit code from our special-cased calls to zipinfo(1) if
    they are 1 or 2 to avoid potentially masking real errors.
  * Also add missing textual description entries for ZipFile and
    MozillaZipFile file types.
  * Skip extra newline in "Output:\n<none>".
  * Cease ignoring test failures in stable-backports.
  * Bump debhelper compat level to 12.
  [ Marc Herbert ]
  * Catch failures to disassemble and rescue all other differences.
    (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!29)
- Update to version 118:
  * Don't fail in autopkgtests when, for example, we do not have sufficiently
    newer or older version of file. (Closes: deb#931881)
  * Also include python3-tlsh in test dependencies.
  * Tidy handling of DIFFOSCOPE_FAIL_TESTS_ON_MISSING_TOOLS:
    - Merge two previously-overlapping environment variables.
    - Use repr(..)-style output when printing test status.
    - Add some explicit return values to appease pylint.
- Update to version 117:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Add support for file 5.37. Thanks again to Christoph Biedl for the heads-up
    in advance. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope/#57)
  * Apply patch from Gianfranco Costamagna to fix autopkgtest failures in
    Debian. (Closes: deb#931709)
  [ Holger Levsen ]
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.4.0.
- Update to version 116:
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Upload to unstable after the release of Debian "buster".
  * README.rst & manual page generation:
    - Strip out manpage-only parts of the README rather than using "only"
      reStructuredText directives in order to support the demands of the latest
      PyPI website.
    - Use "real" reStructuredText comments instead of using the "raw" directive.
  * Dockerfile:
    - Build the Docker image from the current Git checkout, not the Debian
      archive. (reproducible-builds/diffoscope#56)
    - Use the ENTRYPOINT directive with the JSON syntax instead so we pass all
      arguments to the underlying diffoscope executable.
  * Document that run_diffoscope should not be considered a stable API.
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Rename a test function to prevent shadowing a previous one with the
    same name.
  * Add ffmpeg to the list of Debian build-dependencies for the testsuite.
  [ Vagrant Cascadian ]
  * Add support for known external tools in GNU Guix.
- Update to version 115):
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Fix execution of symbolic links that point to the "bin/diffoscope" entry
    point by fully resolving the location.
  * Add a Dockerfile.
  * Update contributing messages with instructions regarding the Docker image.
  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * tests:
    + Allow specifying which tools are known missing using
    DIFFOSCOPE_TESTS_MISSING_TOOLS, to override a _FAIL_ON_MISSING_TOOLS.
    + With DIFFOSCOPE_TESTS_FAIL_ON_MISSING_TOOLS=1, actually fail only tests
      that are missing the required tools.
  * debian:
    + Add black to the test dependencies.
    + Enforce the "fail on missing tools" only when testing with all the
      recommended packages.
    + Ack some missing tools during autopkgtest.
    + Reinstate oggvideotools and procyon-decompiler test dependencies,
      now that are not buggy anymore.
- Update to version 114):
  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Add support for GnuPG "keybox" files. Thanks to Daniel Kahn Gillmor for the
    suggestion. (Closes: deb#871244, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#23)
  * Always warn if tlsh module is not available (not just if a specific
    fuzziness threshold is specified) to match the epilog of the --help output.
    This prevents missing support for file rename detection.
    (Closes: deb#888237, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#29)
  * Treat missing tools on Debian autopkgtests as individual test failures by
    checking whether a new DIFFOSCOPE_TESTS_FAIL_ON_MISSING_TOOLS environment
    variable is exported. (Closes: deb#905885, reproducible-builds/diffoscope#35)
  * Require that "-" is explicitly specified to read a single diff from
    standard input to avoid non-intuitive behaviour when diffoscope is called
    without any arguments. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#54)
  * Make --use-dbgsym a ternary operator to make it easier to totally disable.
    Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the suggestion.
  * Consolidate on "e" as the aliased exception name.
  [ Milena Boselli Rosa ]
  * Various fixes to the HTML markup to prevent validation warnings/errors:
    - Prevent empty values for the "name" attribute name on HTML anchor tags,
      and add an "id" to its parent "div" container.
    - Fix "table column x established by element 'col' has no cells beginning
      in it" warnings.
    - Fix "Text run is not in Unicode Normalization Form C".
    - Remove the "type" HTML attribute from <style> elements.

      find differences. Thanks to Hans-Christoph Steiner for the report.
      (Closes: deb#890904)
    - Recursively reset the permissions of temporary directories prior to

  * Don't crash when we can't find the debug file in a matching debug
    package.  This repairs diffoscope for xserver-xorg and other
    packages.

    more precise and less dependent on binutils version. The command
    line `ar` tool is not used any more so remove it from the required
    tools.

    Niels Thykier for noticing the problem.
  * Fix a logic error in _install_debug_symbols. Thanks anthraxx for
    the report and the fix.
  * Use recursive containers for directory and only look at files with
    ending in .deb when looking for Build IDs. Both avoid looking at
    too many files when searching for matching debug packages. Thanks
    Helmut Grohne and Steven Chamberlain for the reports and
    tests. (Closes: deb#813052)
