Package: wdiff Severity: wishlist Hi!
It would be nice if wdiff in Debian could be updated to latest upstream version, see release announcement below. As temporary new upstream maintainer, I will go through all Debian wdiff bug reports and see if anything applies upstream, and I could assist with Debian packaging too if you want. Consider using upstream git instead of tarballs as the source, for better supply-chain auditability, although doing so requires a bit of work (compare e.g., libntlm or libidn2 packaging for gnulib magic). /Simon Simon Josefsson via Bug reports for and general discussion about GNU wdiff <[email protected]> writes: > This is to announce wdiff-1.2.3, a stable release. > > There have been 29 commits by 2 people in the 637 weeks since 1.2.2. > > See the NEWS below for a brief summary. > > Thanks to everyone who has contributed! > The following people contributed changes to this release: > > Bob Proulx (6) > Simon Josefsson (23) > > Happy Hacking, > Simon [on behalf of the wdiff maintainers] > ================================================================== > > Here is the GNU wdiff home page: > https://www.gnu.org/software/wdiff/ > > Manual: > https://www.gnu.org/software/wdiff/manual/ > https://www.gnu.org/software/wdiff/manual/wdiff.html - HTML format > https://www.gnu.org/software/wdiff/manual/wdiff.pdf - PDF format > > Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature: > https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wdiff/wdiff-1.2.3.tar.gz > https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wdiff/wdiff-1.2.3.tar.gz.sig > > Here is minimal source-only "git archive" sources: > https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wdiff/wdiff-v1.2.3-src.tar.gz > https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wdiff/wdiff-v1.2.3-src.tar.gz.sig > > Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: > https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html > > Here are the SHA256 and SHA3-256 checksums: > > File: wdiff-1.2.3.tar.gz > SHA256 sum: > 29a4457eb0ed35c902e6732d71f25e1d6c7fe7fa0eda0fb6c371ed6779b49fd6 > SHA3-256 sum: > 2f558fe6b7a69524f29d266c4018c80a10135cef2e4a53ae3c2944c1fc12c95d > > File: wdiff-v1.2.3-src.tar.gz > SHA256 sum: > dc29d8f530471b9a8935413dca32e45848363f6e58888fc7307f5f052b8fb827 > SHA3-256 sum: > 4db1f41eda5e1525f3ced491af1fc1ad094cc21c209e789d12a1ea8f611be24e > > Verify the SHA256 checksum with either sha256sum, sha256, or > 'shasum -a 256'. > > Verify the SHA3-256 checksum with 'cksum -a sha3 -l 256 --base64' > from coreutils-9.8. > > Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the > .sig suffix) is intact.
