Hi hc,
> Something like --force=apk would solve both.
So, I'm a little nervous about introducing such a directive.
This is primarily in terms that diffoscope should really just Do The
Right Thing by default in all cases and not need magic flags to get a
the desired result. :)
This is just a better user experience but also has real practical
implications; it is not tidy (or even possible) to specify such flags
in automated or hosted CI environments such as tests.reproducible-builds.org,
try.diffoscope.org. Travis CI, etc. on a per-package basis.
Whilst we might have other flags that you could point to that would
violate this informal "rule", I would certainly cheer their removal.
(There are also — entirely secondary — concerns around whether this
flag would change the behaviour in nested files as well, but we can
leave that for now..)
Have we really exhausted the detection route for this? :)
Regards,
