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,

Changes: 
 devscripts (2.10.41) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Patrick Schoenfeld ]
   * build-rdeps:
     + Make default pattern for source files match on codename
       as well as suite (unstable, sid)
     + Add a --exclude-component parameter which can be specified
       multiple times to exclude certain components (e.g. main, contrib,
       non-free).
     + Add missing documentation of the --only-main param in
       the manpage
     + Update author email address
 .
   [ Adam D. Barratt ]
   * bts:
     + Don't attempt to iterate the list of bugs returned by "bts status"
       if it's empty, thereby avoiding a "Can't use string ("") as a HASH
       ref" error.
     + Correctly handle only one argument being passed to "block" or
       "unblock".
   * checkbashisms:
     + Add an updated check for $'' which is much less prone to false
       positives. Thanks Filippo Giunchedi. (Closes: #504292)
     + Add an updated check for $"" based on Filippo's $'' patch.
   * dcmd: Allow only a subset of the files listed in the .changes / .dsc
     file to be selected. (Closes: #481415)
   * Debbugs.pm:
     + Really fix the special-casing of the "archive" key in select() to
       get rid of an uninitialized value warning.
     + Check whether a SOAP call returned a valid value before attempting to
       call result() on it.
     + Produce more useful error messages on failure. (Closes: #496013)
   * debdiff: When comparing source packages, do so in version order rather
     than the order the .dsc files were passed on the command line. (May
     be disabled using --no-auto-ver-sort if desired.) (Closes: #505264)
   * debsign: Support using DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR to specify the location
     of .dsc and .changes files when called without an explicit path to
     a file. Based on a patch by Philippe Le Brouster. (Closes: #502419)
   * tagpending: If an error occurs retrieving the list of bugs for the
     package, suggest using "--force" in order to tag all the bugs as
     pending without attempting to query the BTS.
   * po4a/po/fr.po: Remove a duplicated word and fix a typo. Thanks Franck
     Joncourt. (Closes: #505786)
 .
   [ James Vega ]
   * debcheckout:  Add support for working around repositories that don't
     follow standard behavior (like bzr.d.o not running a smart server).
