Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.40 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/debdiff
When preparing an NMU, I often find myself wanting to do
debdiff *.dsc
in the temporary directory I use. Unfortunately, this will output
a reverse diff, since
piper:~|master|.tmp/cdt.OjGXfwnN% ls *.dsc
#10041
net-tools_1.60-21.1.dsc net-tools_1.60-21.dsc
'1' sorts before 'd'. It would be nice to be able to pass --reverse
to debdiff, or set DEBDIFF_REVERSE=yes, to cause it to switch the
two inputs.
It might also be worth to investigate whether it couldn't auto-sort
them; the version numbers are clearly identifiable, and dpkg
--compare-versions does the work...
Cheers,
