From chris at reproducible-builds.org Fri Feb 19 09:10:39 2021 From: chris at reproducible-builds.org (Chris Lamb) Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2021 04:10:39 -0500 (EST) Subject: [diffoscope] =?utf-8?q?diffoscope_167_released_=F0=9F=92=A0?= Message-ID: <161372576844.1237536.10002425993829181912@tinycat.chris-lamb.co.uk> Hi, The diffoscope maintainers are pleased to announce the release of version 167 of diffoscope. diffoscope tries 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. Version 167 includes the following changes: * Temporary directory handling: - Ensure we cleanup our temporary directory by avoiding confusion between the TemporaryDirectory instance and the underlying directory. (Closes: #981123) - Use a potentially-useful suffix to our temporary directory based on the command-line passed to diffoscope. - Fix some tempfile/weakref interaction in Python 3.7 (ie. Debian buster). (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. ## Download Version 167 is available from Debian unstable as well as PyPI, and will shortly be available on other platforms surely.

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. Version 168 includes the following changes: * 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. ## Download Version 168 is available from Debian unstable as well as PyPI, and will shortly be available on other platforms surely.
