diffoscope 49 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

diffoscope (49) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Jérémy Bobbio ]
  * 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.
  * Use libarchive to read metadata from ar archives. The output is 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.
  * Split readelf --debug-dump output when examining ELF files. Based on a
    patch by Dhole.
  * Keep both .debug_str and .zdebug_str as ElfSection. Thanks to 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: #813052)
  * Add support for ICC profiles. This adds a Recommends on colord in Debian.
  * Harmonize spaces and commas in package list.
  * Update PPU files test data for FPC 3.0.0.
  * Update exepcted javap output for OpenJDK 1.8.
  * Stop specializing files from directories earlier than necessary.

  [ anthraxx ]
  * Adding cd-iccdump package reference for Arch Linux.

  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * Use HTTPS in Vcs-Git.

  [ Holger Levsen ]
  * Bump standards version to 3.9.7, no changes needed.
  * Use /git/ instead /cgit/ in Vcs-Browser.

Binary packages built by this source

debbindiff: transitional package

 This is a transitional package. It can safely be removed once
 callers have been update to use 'diffoscope' instead of 'debbindiff'.

diffoscope: 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. The differences can
 be shown in a text or HTML report.
 .
 diffoscope is developed as part of the “reproducible builds” Debian
 project and was formerly known as “debbindiff”.
