diffoscope 89 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

diffoscope (89) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Mike Hommey ]
  * comparators:
    + elf:
      - Add fallbacks to elf code section disassembly.  Closes: #879003
    + utils/libarchive:
      - Extract libarchive members with the file extension.

  [ Ximin Luo ]
  * Auto-generate manpage using help2man, so it's no longer out-of-date.
  * difference:
    + Add a Difference.from_command_exc() to help distinguish excluded
      commands from commands returning an empty diff.
  * comparators:
    + utils/command:
      - Replace the feed_stdin() feeder into the simpler stdin() function,
        which provides (if needed) a simple file opject instead of a feeder.
    + utils/container:
      - Add a perform_fuzzy_matching() method (wrapping the already existing
        method) so that comparators can easily override it.
    + deb:
      - Loose matching for .deb archive members, so it's possible to e.g.
      compare deb with different control.tar.{gz,xz}.  Closes: #881937
    + elf:
      - Improve disassembly fallbacks with Difference.from_command_exc().
    + png:
      - Cater for the feed_stdin() removal.
    + zip:
      - Run zipinfo on /dev/stdin instead of a variable path to avoid including
       the temporary file name in the output.  Closes: #879011
      - Cater for the feed_stdin() removal.
  * presenters/formats:
    + Allow non-text formats to output an empty diff.
  * debian/clean:
    + Remove the egg file when cleaning.

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * comparators:
    + utils/file:
      - Handle case where a file to be "fuzzy" matched does not contain enough
        entropy despite being over 512 bytes.  Closes: #882981
    + android:
      - Add support for Android ROM boot.img introspection.  Closes: #884557
    + symlink:
      - Make cleanup of placeholders idempotent.

  [ Juliana Oliveira Rodrigues ]
  * tests:
    + utils/tools:
      - Add a skip_if_tool_version_is() function.
    + elf:
      - Skip some tests if readelf is version '2.29', where its behaviour
        was accidentally changed to exit with code 1 when it previously
        didn't.  Closes: #877728

  [ Holger Levsen ]
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.1.2.  No changes required.

  [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
  * debian/control: Set Rules-Requires-Root: no.
  * Bump Debhelper compat version to 11.
