Package: diffoscope Version: 309 Severity: wishlist When using diffoscope to compare the .changes files of a old and new version of a package, could the output list the differences so that these files are prioritized and first in the e.g. the HTML report:
1. .changes 2. .dsc 3. .buildinfo 4. .debian.tar.cxz 5. upstream .tar.gz 6. everything else (.deb files) As a person reading the diffoscope report, it would make sense to read first the overall information, then the changes in the Debian sources, then upstream source changes (if any) and only after that the changes in the resulting .deb files, control files, binaries etc The main motivation here is to align with typical workflow of a maintainer comparing changes before and after, where the top-level changes are more important than every single binary file change. Additionally, if .changes comparisons would be prioritized like this, it would have the extra benefit of ensuring that the top-level information is always diffed, and if the package is large with lots of binaries and the --timeout is used and it takes along time, the report would at least have all the important stuff and only secondary .deb binary differences would be omitted. By the way, the new experimental timeout feature is great, I am now using it all the time! (https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/diffoscope-minimal/diffoscope.1.en.html#timeout)
