Hi Matt,
Package: diffoscope
Version: 240+deb12u1
AAR files are identified by file as "Android package (APK), with
AndroidManifest.xml", but really
they're just zips with specific files inside. It would be nice to be
able to use diffoscope's diff
view given that, but currently we just drop to a binary diff.
Ah, thanks for letting us know. Do you happen to have two .aar files
lying around so I can test that...?
Hmm, that have only marginal diff, not handy, but if you just want to look at some AAR files, you
could for example grab LDK-release.aar from
https://git.bitcoin.ninja/?p=ldk-java-bins;a=tree;f=v0.1.1.0;hb=refs/heads/main
and
https://git.bitcoin.ninja/?p=ldk-java-bins;a=tree;f=v0.1.0.0;hb=refs/heads/main
Tried to file this on salsa which the website suggests, but sadly,
"Your request to join https://salsa.debian.org/ has been rejected."
Oh, that's annoying. We don't run salsa.debian.org ourselves, so you
might have to followup with the admins here:

(You are likely simply being caught by some anti-spam thing.)
Doesn't matter much, I just wanted to file this bug, if it got to the right
place that's fine.
