Subject: [debdiff] diff .dsc and extracted source package

Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2009 17:14:24 -0700

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.55
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I wish debdiff would support showing the differences between a .dsc
file and an unpacked source package.  For example, if I've downloaded
a source package and made some changes to the unpacked copy, I wish
that

 debdiff totem-pl-parser_2.28.1-1.dsc totem-pl-parser-2.28.1

would show the differences that I made.

Hi Matt Kraai

I have prepared a new script for devscript[1] that can (also) diff a dsc
against an unpacked source folder. However, it only diffs the debian
part of the two sources (excluding *.debs and orig.tars), so I am not
sure it does everything you want.

You can download it from [2], while it waits for a review.

Thanks for preparing the patch and letting me know about it.  It seems
like it will be useful functionality.
