diffoscope 202 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

diffoscope (202) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * 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.

  [ Sergei Trofimovich ]
  * Fix/update whitespace for Black 21.12.

diffoscope: in-depth visual diff tool for files, archives and directories

 diffoscope is a visual diff tool that attempts try to get to the bottom of
 what makes files or directories actually different.
 .
 It can recursively unpack archives of many kinds, transforming various binary
 formats into more human-readable form to compare them in a human-readable way.
 It can compare two tarballs, ISO images or PDFs just as easily. The
 differences can be displayed on the console or in a HTML report.
 .
 This is a dependency package that recommends the full set of external tools,
 to support as many type of files as possible.
 .
 File formats supported include: Android APK files, Android boot images, Apple
 Xcode mobile provisioning files, ar(1) archives, ASM Function, Berkeley DB
 database files, bzip2 archives, character/block devices, ColorSync colour
 profiles (.icc), Coreboot CBFS filesystem images, cpio archives, Dalvik .dex
 files, Debian .buildinfo files, Debian .changes files, Debian source packages
 (.dsc), Device Tree Compiler blob files, directories, ELF binaries,
 ext2/ext3/ext4/btrfs/fat filesystems, Flattened Image Tree blob files,
 FreeDesktop Fontconfig cache files, FreePascal files (.ppu), Gettext message
 catalogues, GHC Haskell .hi files, GIF image files, Git repositories, GNU R
 database files (.rdb), GNU R Rscript files (.rds), Gnumeric spreadsheets, GPG
 keybox databases, Gzipped files, Hierarchical Data Format database, ISO 9660 CD
 images, Java .class files, Java .jmod modules, JavaScript files, JPEG images,
 JSON files, LLVM IR bitcode files, LZ4 compressed files, macOS binaries,
 Microsoft Windows icon files, Microsoft Word .docx files, Mono 'Portable
 Executable' files, Mozilla-optimized .ZIP archives, Multimedia metadata, OCaml
 interface files, Ogg Vorbis audio files, OpenOffice .odt files, OpenSSH public
 keys, OpenWRT package archives (.ipk), PDF documents, PE32 files, PGP
 signatures, PGP signed/encrypted messages, PNG images, PostScript documents,
 Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) files (version #7), Python .pyc files,
 RPM archives, Rust object files (.deflate), Sphinx inventory files, SQLite
 databases, SquashFS filesystems, symlinks, tape archives (.tar), tcpdump
 capture files (.pcap), text files, TrueType font files, U-Boot legacy image

 tools needed to produce file-format-specific comparisons, excluding those that
 are considered too large or niche for general use.
