Package: cme Version: 1.015-1 Severity: wishlist Hi Dominique,
it would be nice if I could do something like the following with cme: $ cme diff dpkg-control pkg1/debian/control pkg2/debian/control This should show me the semantic differences between two files after they have been parsed, i.e. independently of statement orders (for formats where it doesn't matter) and comments. cme probably has already most things it needs including a way to show differences. AFAIK currently differences are only shown as "what cme would change", not as differences between two configurations. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (400, 'stable'), (110, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-rc5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages cme depends on: ii libapp-cmd-perl 0.331-1 ii libconfig-model-perl 2.092-1 ii libjson-perl 2.90-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.096-1 ii libpod-pom-perl 2.01-1 ii libyaml-perl 1.18-1 ii perl 5.24.1~rc3-3 Versions of packages cme recommends: pn libconfig-model-approx-perl <none> ii libconfig-model-dpkg-perl 2.085 pn libconfig-model-lcdproc-perl <none> ii libconfig-model-openssh-perl 1.237-1 pn libconfig-model-systemd-perl <none> ii libconfig-model-tkui-perl 1.357-1 Versions of packages cme suggests: ii libconfig-model-cursesui-perl 1.105-1 ii libconfig-model-itself-perl 2.006-1 -- no debconf information
