diffoscope 57 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

diffoscope (57) unstable; urgency=medium

  [Chris Lamb]
  * Add myself to Uploaders.
  * Add try.diffoscope.org command-line client in new binary package
    "trydiffoscope" to save installation of dependencies:
    - Open files in binary mode to support comparing binary files.
    - Optionally open URL in web browser.
    - Optionally poll locally until result is available.
    - Move to version 2 of API, don't continue to poll on error.
    - Correct and improve help text.
  * Code cleanups:
    - Tidy PROVIDERS dict in diffoscope/__init__.py.
    - Tidy OS_NAMES dict.
    - Correct indentation levels in various files.
    - Drop unused imports.
    - platform.get_linux_distribution() will break in Python 3.7.
    - Don't name first argument of Difference.from_command "cls" as it's not a
      classmethod.
    - comparators/directory.py: Call logger.warning over logger.warn.
    - Rename diffoscope.__main__ to diffoscope.main as its not a "real" magic
      name.
    - Raise NotImplementedError() instances over NotImplemented classes.
    - Add short option for trydiffoscope --url.
    - Rewrite trydiffoscope to match diffoscope's command-line API.
    - Use keepalive in trydiffoscope client to avoid new HTTP requests.
    - Highlight lines via HTML/CSS when hovering over a line to make it easier
      to visually track.
    - Rename debian/install -> debian/diffoscope.install now we have multiple
      binary packages.
  * Add a JSON comparator.
    - Add tests for JSON comparator.
    - Move parsing to JSONFile.recognizes
    - Ensure decode errors in JSON comparator are not fatal.
  * Ignore /.*eggs and /.cache - they get created when running tests.
  * Reflow long dh_python3 call in debian/rules.
  * Use dict.get fallback to shorten OS_NAMES lookup in --list-tools.
  * --list-tools:
    - Output --list-tools in RFC822 format to make parsing less brittle.
    - Print "no package mapping" in --list-tools to stderr, not stdout.
    - Remove unused ``reduce`` import.
    - Reflow long PROVIDERS lookup.
  * Add .travis.yml from http://travis.debian.net/
  * Don't skip squashfs test_listing test; we can workaround it, as long as we
    have a uid 1000.
  * Drop "Testsuite: autopkgtest" in debian/control; it is added automatically
    by dpkg-source version 1.17.11.

  [Mattia Rizzolo]
  * autopkgtest: be more verbose when running the tests
  * debian/control:
    - Mark build-dependency needed only for tests with a <build profile
      (reverted as they break dh-python)
    - add more build-dependencies to be able to run more tests at build time
    - default-jdk-headless is enough to have javap, instead of all of
      default-jdk
  * debian/rules:
    - be more verbose when running the tests, in particular, show why tests are
      being skipped
    - teach pybuild where to put diffoscope's files
  * do not try to execute the command if the command is not available

  [Ximin Luo]
  * Add support for reading LLVM bitcode files
    - Ignore line numbers because different llvm-dis versions output extra
      metadata
    - Disable the llvm-dis test if the version is lower than 3.8
  * Add support for reading Rust LLVM object files
  * Add test for rlib files, helping also to test ArFile, LlvmBitCodeFile and
    RustObjectFile
  * Fix failing directory test
  * Add support for reading the symbol table to ArFile
  * Fix typo in tool_older_than
    - Remove debugging print from tool_older_than

  [anthraxx]
  * skip rlib test if llvm-dis tool is missing
