Package: diffoscope Version: 90 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if diffoscope could report differences in filesystem xattrs. This would help when comparing directories with files that have been downloaded with wget (or other downloaders that set xattrs).
In Debian we have two Python 3 modules for xattr support: python3-xattr python3-pyxattr ~ $ mkdir 1 2 ~ $ cd 1 ~/1 $ wget -q https://www.debian.org/ ~/1 $ cd .. ~ $ cp 1/index.html 2/ ~ $ diffoscope --no-progress 1 2 --- 1 +++ 2 +-- stat {} | @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ | | Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory | Links: 2 | Access: (0750/drwxr-x---) Uid: ( 1000/ pabs) Gid: ( 1000/ pabs) | | -Modify: 2018-01-25 03:27:33.279766812 +0000 | +Modify: 2018-01-25 03:27:45.971611107 +0000 | | Birth: - | --- 1/index.html +-- +++ 2/index.html | +-- stat {} | | @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ | | | | Size: 15060 Blocks: 32 IO Block: 4096 regular file | | Links: 1 | | Access: (0640/-rw-r-----) Uid: ( 1000/ pabs) Gid: ( 1000/ pabs) | | | | -Modify: 2018-01-24 23:45:55.000000000 +0000 | | +Modify: 2018-01-25 03:27:45.971611107 +0000 | | | | Birth: - ~ $ getfattr -dR 1 2 # file: 1/index.html user.xdg.origin.url="https://www.debian.org/"; -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
